Go free this month.

Each month, Money Works invites you to a 30-day challenge, a fun way to shake off old habits and get a fresh perspective on your money.

 

Go it alone or see if your friends and family can keep up with you!

 

This month's challenge:

Dinner and a movie for two cost $123 on average, according to a 2024 MoneyGeek survey, and that’s without popcorn or a sitter. A great night out is worth the money, but we’re here to shake things up. Whether it’s a date, family outing, or gathering with friends, how much fun can you have for $0 this month? Here are a few ideas to get started:

  • Play—Start a game night, go on a bike ride, or hit the swings at the park. 
  • Sightsee—Check social media for free festivals, free concerts, and free admission days at museums near you.
  • Reboot an old trend—Did you miss out on the first Pokémon GO, geocaching, and letterboxing craze? The creatures and treasures are still there, ready for you to find.

Let us know how it goes!

We have plenty of other ideas, but we want to know what you come up with. Post a short video about your experience on Facebook and tag us with #flagstarchallenge #july2024 

Good luck!
