Filing bankruptcy may have you thinking of your budget and what you spend on certain categories monthly or yearly. One of those categories may be your “fun” money or entertainment budget. It can be hard to find fun things to do, that are cheap or free. This blog explores ideas for free or cheap things you and your family can do, during bankruptcy.
If you typically go on a family vacation every year, but are working on your finances during bankruptcy, an alternative to flying or vacationing somewhere expensive, is camping. Camping is fun outdoor activity and is usually very cheap. There are plenty of areas in Minnesota and surrounding states where you can camp.
If you typically take the family out to eat for dinner, instead, you could make themed nights at home. For example, taco Tuesday or pizza Friday. You could theme the night out, like various food categories or colors. Another idea would be basing your meal on whatever movie you are watching that night. For example, if you watch Lady and the Tramp, maybe you have spaghetti.
If you normally go to the movies, you could move movie night to home. Make popcorn, buy bulk candy from the store, and rent or stream a new movie.
Minnesota has various fun, family-friendly things to do during summer and winter months. There are beaches, the Como Zoo or the Minnesota Zoo, various state and county parks and playgrounds, and various free entertainment.
While in bankruptcy, although you will put together a budget and put thought into what you are spending, you can still have an entertainment budget.
