We all deserve a little fun every once and a while but fun doesn't have to be a $25 trip for two to the movies or $40 dinner at a mediocre restaurant.

Due to the current state of the economy, now, more than ever, it's consequential to be saving your money for important, future purchases.

So for this week, spend less on high-costing, overpriced activities that don't deliver the results you want or deserve and find fun, free activities to enjoy instead. It'll be worth it in the end to yourself, your community AND your pocketbook.

A few ideas for your money-saving endeavors:

• Check your local newspaper or your local newspaper's website and see if there are free concerts, plays, or other productions going on with no cost.

• Volunteer at a local charity with a friend or family member. You'll feel good about yourself and have someone to enjoy volunteering with.

• Spend the day at the park. If the weather is permitting, forget the green that goes in your wallet and appreciate the green of nature.

Save your money for bigger, more important purchases, and enjoy activities that you'll get more out of.

With that saved money, you don't want to be putting it just anywhere. Not in the cold, greedy hands of a megabank. Manage your money the smart way by putting it in a Kasasa Saver account. Pairing it with your Kasasa Cash account (you need both), Kasasa Saver makes saving easy and very beneficial.
