• Check out the bike trails or the local public library. 
• Go for a nature walk along a nearby creek. 
• See what movies are available for free in your cabinets or that come with your cable or satellite service. 
• Go swimming in your backyard or your friends backyard.

If you look in the right places, you will find plenty of fun and free things to do in your local area.

As you can see, if you get creative, there are a number of ways you can keep your head above water during the summer months.  Go have fun!  Just be conscious about how you are spending your money.  Taking these little steps will go a long way in making a big difference. 

I am off to Dallas for a few days to attend the eWomenNetwork International Business Conference.  So, have a great week!
