Is your budget tight this month? Trying to avoid spending money can leave you saying no to plans and sitting around alone in your apartment. Instead of turning your friends down, try suggesting an alternative activity that won’t cost you any money. At worst, they might say no. At best, you will mix up your normal routine and find something new that you love to do.
