Take Advantage of Free Entertainment

You don’t need to spend any of your Social Security check to stay busy and have fun. Go to a museum with free admission or check out a library book to stay entertained during the day.

You can also attend open mic nights at a local coffee shop or theater, which often do not charge an admission fee.

Other free activities include attending book readings, going to a lecture at a local college or university and attending free outdoor concerts.
