Discuss how to save money.

I recently moved to a new city and don’t know anybody here yet.

I want to try out some things and meet new people and avoid sitting at home all day (but sometimes is ok)

My ideas are hiking, volunteering and reading. What would you recommend? Any good ideas?

Cycling. You can get decent bikes second hand for pretty cheap. There's no better way to get to know an area than by cycling. Provided, of course, there are reasonably safe roads and cycling paths available.

You can start to create a music with some free programms. For example, you can download Reaper (trial version is working without any limits) plus some free plugins like Vital and you can find some free samples for drums and fx for it. For presets for Vital you can use site Presetshare. For publishing for free you can use soundcloud and bandcamp. But do it for yourself (not for popularity) and you will have a lot of fun

I make money off survey apps in my free time. I know you're looking for activities outside of the Internet, but while it's a grind, I've made 5K off survey apps over a couple of years, and haven't paid for anything on Amazon in three years. I am happy to tell you all about it. I imagine the money would be welcome.

How's that work? I'm curious myself.

Sorry I missed this comment; there are survey apps for your phone where you can do surveys and they pay you. The best ones are HeyPiggy, Five Surveys,Qmee, and Leger Opinion.

Oh! You mean like you take surveys. My bad. I thought you meant that you do surveys, like surveying the land. Idk why I thought that...
