Budget day

Ok, I used to do this in college. You take a day when you have nothing to do and set yourself a budget and see how far it gets you. I don't mean geographically far and I'm not talking a lot of money here. I mean, what can you accomplish for $20? How many hours can you be out doing fun things? The only thing that isn't included in the budget is gas. Is that unfair? Probably. But gas is expensive. And public transit isn't much cheaper. If you don't have a car, public transit isn't included either.

Could you eat cheap and go to parks all day? Yeah, of course. But it might be fun to see what kinds of deals you can find in terms of entertainment. Can you see a play? Can you go on a boat ride? I don't know. That's the fun.
