Libraries are a great way to provide entertainment for your whole family at very little or no cost. You’re paying for them with your taxes anyway; you might as well reap their benefits. Why buy books when you can read them for free? Most of the time we only read them once anyway and then they collect dust on the shelf. If you don’t have a lot of spare time to wander through the library searching for books, check out your library’s website. You will more than likely be able to request the book that you want so they can put it on hold for you. That way you just have to pick it up and it saves you the extra time. Libraries usually also have movies that you can rent for little or no cost if you prefer movies to books. They have a wide variety of children’s books and of course many how- to books if you want to save money by learning how to do things yourself rather than hiring someone else to do odd jobs. There are also some great books out there for people who want to learn how to become financially free. I highly recommend the Rich Dad books by Robert Kiyosaki. They really inspired us. I will write more about those books later.

Travel & Entertainment
Rather than spending a lot of money inviting your friends out to eat, invite them to have a meal at your home. You have to eat anyway, so it won’t cost that much more to feed a few extra people. Besides, having people over is great motivator to clean up your home! After the meal you can enjoy each other’s company by playing cards, board games, or watching a rented movie. Entertaining doesn’t have to be expensive to be fun. In fact, our best experiences with others have been when we have chatted with them in our living room. It’s easier to make a connection and you don’t have to worry about being interrupted every few minutes by a restaurant employee. Try it out sometime to see how it works for you. It will make it a lot easier to entertain more often without having to worry about how much the bill will come to at the end of the evening!
