People are always meeting friends, relatives; they go to pubs or expensive restaurants together or take expensive subscriptions even today. Women do shopping for non-essential things together. The way of spending good time together with friends and relatives should be used, which was used in olden days.

Instead of pubs, go to the library to have a good time with each-other, read favorite books for free and have fun and informative discussions with each other.
Instead of a restaurant, enjoy a picnic at someone's house or in a beautiful garden with everyone bringing only home-cooked dish. Instead of shopping outside, women can create new dishes together and amuse themselves.

It may seem boring in the beginning compared to modernity, but everyone will be enjoying.

It's an era of consumerism. A good time and good entertainment need not be an expensive one. All that you mentioned are valid points. One just needs to be mindful and thoughtful to plan that way. But these days people lack time and are in a rush. Mindfulness is missing. They just put money to buy everything.

The things I do with my friends has changed a lot as time goes on. Spending a lot of money on outings was definitely something that happened a lot in my teens and early twenties. Over time, I got better at prioritizing what to spend on and knowing what I need and what is unnecessary. I have a lot of like-minded friends with whom I can spend quality time "for free".
It's okay to let your hair down sometimes, though, as long as you keep living within your means.

There are so many ways to spend time with our friends and relatives, we can take walks together, have tea or coffee in each other houses, we can go to street parties with free live music (this happens a lot in my country), there are so many ways, that there is no need to spend money to be with them.

I prefer to meet friends over coffee at a traditional coffee shop while discussing whatever comes to mind. Sometimes I even get information that I didn't know before, even tips about life, and it's clear that in terms of expenses, it will be cheaper when compared with going to the pub.

I think this is the easiest and most economical way to spend time, especially with friends. It's also very common here in my country to meet friends at a coffee shop and spend time there.

I think it would be better to spend time with friends by vacationing together or just going out together to go somewhere. Obviously, we get quality time, and expenses can be kept to a minimum.

I dont have friends to hang out with because they prefer to dine at fancy restaurants or hotel buffet which will cause my wallet a big hole. My relatives are the same too. Nobody wants to dine at home with homemade cooked food because they look down on my culinary skill. Hence, i rather "dispose" them in my circle line

[vbludwig]

It will always be great when I have time to go with my friends and colleagues. I can learn so much new information about life, finance, and everything else when I meet my friends because we will always discuss it together. Lucky for me, I have so many friends with an open mind and lots of knowledge that we can share every time we meet.

I always go hiking and to a park when meeting with friends. Indeed, no need to go to a restaurant for gatherings.

Sure this way will help you save money than going to where you would spend money

[grecy0905]

I apply practicality and I am with friends who are not into spending much too. I make sure I am with the right person so that I will not get influence as money is really hard to earn. I am happy that sometimes my friends will treat me for food or some merchandise. Sometimes when I have extra money , I will treat them. For those things that are not economical and practical, we will have second thoughts of trying to buy it as we all have priorities and we all need to have savings. With my family, they know the value of money so sometimes when we celebrate at home, we do it very simply. We do not have a grand celebration even for Christmas and New Year because we need savings. To have savings is our priority.

When you meet after long time better catch up with things that happened in between instead of wasting money in restaurants and pubs

[augusta]

Yes that's the way to go you should try to catch up with gist and others things that don't involve money
