Step 2 – Practice telling the difference between a want or a need.

Follow the Solo Wants and Needs Sort activity.

Step 3 – Find out what it costs for a fun adventure.

Follow the Budget a Day Outside activity.

Step 4 – Find one way to lower costs (thrift stores, comparison shopping, reusing things).

Step 5 – Budget something with only $15 (meal, shopping, or pooling budgets to get something bigger).

Follow the 5 Item Pie Budget activity.
