The Summer Of FREE!

This week I realized that I've developed some bad spending habits when it comes to my "fun money" and have decided to significantly cut back on entertainment spending so I can effectively save up for some fun things coming in the fall.

To serve this goal, I am declaring this "The Summer Of Free"! Now, that doesn't mean I will only do things that are free. I still need my comic fix every week and there are a few movies remaining I really want to see. But I'm dropping a few comics (nothing super cool) and waiting for a few movies to rent(RedBox Only!) instead of see in theaters. (Sorry, "Lost World"!)

In addition, I'm looking to fill my time with stuff that doesn't cost me anything. I'm hoping this quest will also result in me finding some cool, free entertainment options that I can share with you (or that you might share with me!) so we can all be a part of the "Summer Of Free" together!

In case you're curious, I've included some notes I made for myself to fight off purchase temptation. Stuff I can do instead of spending money. Books, games or shows I have but haven't finished yet, along with some online options I know are out there but haven't fully explored yet. So if any of you catch me in line at Gamestop, feel free to remind me of the following:
