Me and the friends love going out to our local lake to kayaking, and bring out own ice chest with snacks and beer. The cost to charge our cars to drive there is about 50 cents. This can easily burn up a day.

We also like getting on our ebikes and bar hopping. This can be quite expensive as each beer cost 8-12 bucks. But if we hit 4 bars it was a good night for $50 bucks.

The new skate part they opened up is well built and fun, and most of the locals that hang out there are fun. Not to many shit heads.

I also love going to Dave and busters. On Sunday it’s half price games so I get my fill of DDR for a couple of bucks and we get the $5 draft beers. If we are feeling hungry you can get the $20 food and game package.

I’m happy you found cool stuff to do but the investment is expensive… I see an electric vehicle, a kayak, and an electric bike. That’s thousands for the bike alone… Oh and that skate park requires a skateboard. Last I checked that’s a few hundred dollars.

There are cheaper ways to do what you’re doing of course but there’s also storage concerns. Not many people that are worried about their finances have space to store an entire kayak…

I appreciate you trying to get it, but it’s pretty obvious that you don’t.

  It’s weird that you don’t see your regular gasoline car that yall americans have as an expensive investment.
  Also, no way a cheapest ebike is thousands of bucks. I bet you can get one for the price of a couple of months of gas. Or get an acoustic one even cheaper, it will be better for your health.
  Also also no way a cheap skate is hundreds.

    In many areas, a car is required. To get to work is an hour bike ride each way and there are NO sidewalks or bike lanes. Even with gas and insurance, it’s safer to have a vehicle so you don’t lose your job.
    
    Many employers will not hire you without a car for transportation, it’s a fact in the US.

    Oh, I know that, and my heart goes out to y’all. However, there is no requirement that it will have to be a gasoline car.

My wife and I like walking through a local park multiple times a week. It’s free since we also walk there.

You should write a book on how to live like you do. Some people don’t know how to exist without spending money.

  We get tiger for board games pretty regularly too. There are plunty to do that isn’t super expensive. Even your local bar has shuffle board, jenga, and other board games you can play for free.

I remember having working joints and an obedient spine.

Those were good days.
