You may be on a budget, but what expense (hobby, activity, etc) do you still enjoy?
Magazines! I just can't give my subscriptions up. I subscribe to nine different print magazines right now and the rest of the ones that I can't afford, I have to read at the library. I could easily spend $200/month on magazines.

That is amazing............Most people have moved away from paying for this type of print these days.. Gotta do what you love!
We love to BBQ and have a few beers and even catch a live show downtown on the waterfront! No, we are not trailer trash or live on the redneck riviera, although if I had to be classified, I would rather be one of these versus a tight wadded wannabe! Just saying...I am who I am!
We tend to do things that cost little but get us out of the house for a day. Like going to our local waterfront parks and such. We love the sunshine and warm water. Just your typical beach bums that happen to be self employed and a little driven!
We still go out once a week for a meal. We keep our choices to medium priced retaurants or quick take-outs and enjoy a picnic at the park or at the beach.
Reading. Without the library I would have to spend more on books in a month than we spend on groceries for four people and three animals. (And then where to store them all?? I have already taken over all available bookcases..)
The one thing I can't give up is good coffee. It's the one thing I'll buy that's not on sale when I go to the grocery store!

I'm just wondering whether...

What hobby, sport or activity that you do regularly makes you lose track of time?We all have something that we do that makes us forget about time. That hobby or activity that you look up at the clock after doing it for hours and feel as if no time has passed. What is it for you?

Do you still read hard copy versions of newspapers, magazines and books or do you only read online?With digital media on the rise it seems that more people are doing their reading online. I read my magazines, newspapers and books on my iPad and E-reader, but I sometimes miss reading my...

Do people still buy Magazine subscriptions? If they do what ones?Magazine subscriptions are cheaper and cheaper and the only reason I see for selling them for 78% off is to ensure they have some kind of income at all. So do people still buy magazines? What ones? Why?
