Any time I go to a large city im exhausted by being charged for doing anything. How do people have fun if theyre poor(the neat part, you dont, probably). And to make it worse many of them probably have a 1 bedroom apartment so its not like you can sit in there all day long (at least i cant).
I realize im still spending money by being in my house out of town, but still, at least things I buy are owned by me, and im not paying someone else every time I want to do anything. If I want to stay at home all day I have tons of stuff to occupy my mind without going nuts.
I figure 98% of lemmy users live in big cities so id like to hear this perspective!
EDIT: Ope, you did mention volunteering. It’s early and I’m tired.
There are also lots of really cool things you can do for free by volunteering your time, such as comic cons or roller derby. Derby leagues are always needing non-skating officials or volunteers to do various things. You can work the ticket scanner at an MLB game and then, when done, watch it for free.
