Consider these free or low-cost activities to help inspire frugal choices. (You can find the full article here:  http://www.aarp.org/work/retirement-planning/info-05-2012/fun-on-a-fixed-income.1.html)
  • Join a meet-up group where others share your interests, such as tennis, wine-tasting, bridge, ballroom dancing, book clubs and more. Find a group near you at meetup.com.
  • Volunteer at a sporting event, festival, theater, museum or convention and get in on the fun free of charge.
  • Visit local museums, zoos and gardens on the selected days when admission is free.
  • Check out plays, concerts and sporting events at your local schools. They are free or low-cost and easy to get to.
  • See a Broadway show at selected theaters that hold a lottery the day of the performance — orchestra seats could be a bargain $25. You drop a card with your name in a bucket and an employee picks the winners.
  • Get baseball tickets when discounts for seniors or half-price tickets are offered for designated games.
  • Be serenaded by local entertainers at bars and restaurants, an inexpensive way to enjoy an evening.
