Balling on a Budget


Hebrews 13:5-6 ESV / 



Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” So we can confidently say, “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?”

Thrifty Guide to enjoying life without being a BIG spender. 
This Week's tip is regarding finding your own fun.

Explore your city and find something unique about that city to enjoy with your significant other or your crew. Typically a waterfront, bridge, downtown area, or historic geographic location.  After a brisk walk around your selected point of reference pull out a blanket or portable chairs (whichever would make your date most comfortable).  A picnic basket, thermal bag, or cooler with the lunch/dinner is also a great option.  You can create a special night and a great meal for less than 15$.  Sandwiches, fruits, wine, and chips are the best options.  But you can get as fancy as you like.  If you are not a big fan of traveling with food or grocery stores, then feel free to grab two sub sandwiches from your favorite sub shop, chipotle burritos/bowls or chinese takeout.

This option is great for a first date, girls night, family outing or out of town guests.  Please do not say that your city does not having anywhere interesting, because I would beg to differ.  If you are convinced however that your city has NO options I challenge you to add your city and state in the comments section and I will find a fun place for you.  Here are a few ideas from places where this worked when I visited.
