Every budget should have a little bit of money set aside for family fun. If you need a larger amount of money for a trip or day at a theme park then saving money over time can make that happen without disrupting your budget.
Try to find some things that cost little or no money:
- Swimming
- Zoo
- Movies
- Museums
- Playing board games, cards
- Renting movies
- Library story time or summer reading programs
- Take walks in the metro parks
- Go to a park with playground equipment
- Make a play date with other children
- Get family & friends together for a cookout
- Go camping in the backyard
- Winter activities (snowman, sledding)
Recreation is important for families
and brings everyone closer together.
