You just have to be creative and find inexpensive ways to entertain yourself.

Wise words Peaches
So many people my age consider themselves to be "broke" but when I look at the lifestyle they lead, it usually involves spending way beyond their means. Designer clothes weekly and dinner out twice a week and three nights out drinking in Manhattan on $30,000 a year in NYC, umm, yes, please re-evaluate your finances. I work with people who receive half that per year and manage to save money. It's all about priorities.
