    Social Butterfly on a Budget

    Frugal Ways to Still Have Fun

    Let’s face it: the last month or so you’ve been a girl about town. Celebrating, feasting, traveling and, of course, shopping. The holidays are one of the most joyous times of the year but also one of the hardest on your wallet. Now that the giving season is behind us, your free-for-all spending has likely left your pockets a little emptier than you’d care for.

    And really, the spending spree hasn’t quite reached the finished line. After all, we still have New Year’s Eve ahead of us. There are parties to attend, sparkly dresses to obsess over, and maybe for a few of you, even another round of travel.

    So what’s a social butterfly like yourself left to do when she’s stuck between an empty wallet and FOMO (fear of missing out)? Though January weather can be harsh, it’s no excuse to lock yourself away for the winter months. No, instead you need a guide to help you strategically plan your social life on a shoestring.

    Of course I, above all people, understand your pain. Leaving my job earlier this year has left me happier but doesn’t exactly have me rolling in cash-money. Lucky for you, this means I’m one step ahead on the social strategizing. If someone wants to see a Hobbit they’ll have to head to theaters because TSD is bringing you 10 ways to keep your social life afloat without breaking the bank.
