9 Ways to Have a Fun Night Out (Even When You’re Broke)

Hit free dance night

If you live in a big city, most hotels have a music/dance night that offers free admission before a certain hour, usually around 10 p.m. If you carpool to the event, you can save even more money. Total cost to you = $0. And free is a beautiful thing. If you live in a smaller town without big hotels, try going to a local coffee shop or bar that has no cover on a night when there’s a coffeehouse act or live band playing. You’ll enjoy entertainment for the price of a single drink.
