10 Ways to Have Fun for Free or Nearly Free
Manage episode 414103847 series 2774357
Welcome to the Money Talks News Podcast.
In this episode, we're talking about how you can have a good time without breaking the bank.
Hey, we all need a little fun in our lives, right? What's the point of grinding it out at work, going home, fretting about money, and then sleeping?
But here's the rub: The cost of having fun continues to rise at a faster pace than inflation, and that's keeping some of us home.
So today is all about having a riot without breaking the bank.
As usual, host Stacy Johnson is joined by financial journalist Miranda Marquit. Listening in and sometimes contributing is producer Aaron Freeman. Our special guest is Vee Weir, the host of the For Fox Sake podcast.
Remember, even though we sometimes talk about money and specific investments on this show, don't take them as recommendations. Before investing in anything or making any money moves, do your own research and make your own decisions.
