I've recently stumbled across MMM and have gobbled up post after post. I'm working on incorporating some of MMM's principles to increase my cash flow (5 days Starbucks Sober!), but was looking for some tips/suggestions/examples about increasing my "life flow."
I currently live and work in the Suburbs. As my name suggests, I'm also single (very single). The majority my friends live in the city about an hour+ drive away. Driving out there more than once a month and spending money to keep up with my big-city friends really starts to add up. I do have some friends local, but they all have their own families (very young children) and are very busy. I'm lucky to see these friends once every three months or so.
I find my evenings and weekends are spent mainly watching TV, lazing about at a local coffee shop, or driving 25 minutes to the local multiplex to catch a movie and spend $18 (movie and frozen yogurt). Clearly none of these activities are very Mustacian.
There's very little within walking distance from me - no nice parks, no trials, no art galleries, no museums, no farmers markets etc. I planning on dusting off the bike soon, but I'm a bit of a fairweather cyclist (will be working on that - perhaps time to start looking for fenders on Craigslist).
Anyone else in my boat who have found interesting, cheap/free ways to enjoy themselves in their free time? I try to read as much as possible, do a bit of writing, but mainly just end up watching TV...
