if you are dead broke for a day, would you you do?
Would you go on sulking , grumpy or sad?? What?? or Would you pull people around you to be sad too?? Simply would you brush off the idea of being broke and you just life this moment as it is.. being a happy being?
I'm going through a downsizing phase. My attitude is: Less is more. So I'm learning to how to do things that don't cost money. In the process I'm learning how to appreciate things that I've always taken for granted.
Bicycling is great during the spring and summer. I've got an old Giant OCR3 21-speed that I take on the bike paths. I cruise around and see things that I would never see driving the streets. I also have an old Specialized Rockhopper I found at a thrift store. I learned basic bicycle repair and so I take that to the hills sometimes.
Almost always there are events going on that are free to the public. Sometimes it's wine or beer tastings (if you're of age), or art galleries always have showings.
You could always volunteer your time for the day for something that interests you. Parks and Rec always need volunteers to help with sports activities. And there's trail building and maintenance for area parks.
When was the last time you read a book? The problem here isn't that there isn't anything to do. It's the person who refuses to take the initiative.
I think I would go out and work for money. Either get some simple job like waitressing or busking for money.
I would think, ponder, chalk out a plan and start working on it from the next day. No hurry to get going since well planned work reaps more benefits than unplanned ones.

How is it possible that the message boards I choose seem to have so many poor & broke people. Is everyone poor & broke? If they are all poor & broke, how do they afford internet? Just a random question of the day.

Austerity, people committing suicide, 25% unemployment in some parts of the Eurozone, yet these vast sums can always be found to bail out banks? If this kind of money is available, why not inject it directly into local areas to create jobs and stimulate...
