Rewind your mind to simpler times. What did people do for fun during nice weather, 200 years ago? They went outside. They didn’t really have too many other choices. They didn’t have computers, TVs, air conditioning, or video games. They simply went outside, which in turn, resulted in low-cost, healthy entertainment. 

The summer is the perfect time to explore your local parks, walk your local trails, and bike your local roads. None of these activities cost any money, and they help you continue on your quest for overall wellness. If your “free time” is filled with costly indoor activities to entertain you and your loved ones, including watching TV, then take some time examine how much your indoor lifestyle affects your wallet. It may be time to cut the cord on indoor activities, and cut your spending in the process.
