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!
Parks are usually nice, free events often happen every weekend you just have to look up results for your city. Art museums and galleries usually have one day out the week (sometimes month) that’s free entry. Rarer but some small improv places have open mic and comedy that’s entertaining. Libraries sometimes have free group meets where they teach you random stuff or have experts in fields come in. Good place to meet new people
