Ideas para disfrutar el verano sin importar su presupuesto

El verano suele asociarse con vacaciones, viajes, y gastos. Sin embargo, el aumento de los precios y nuestras obligaciones diarias pueden dificultar estos planes. La buena noticia es que existen muchas actividades que son divertidas y económicas. Crear una lista de actividades de verano puede ayudarle a aprovechar al máximo la temporada sin gastar de más.

Para crear una lista de actividades de verano, piense en cosas que le gustaría hacer, como experiencias, metas o aventuras. Es una forma entretenida de ser intencional con su tiempo y de crear recuerdos significativos a lo largo de la temporada.

Les comparto algunas ideas económicas para mi lista de actividades de verano:

  • Asistir a un evento comunitario gratuito
  • Ver un amanecer o un atardecer
  • Pasar una tarde en la biblioteca
  • Completar un rompecabezas
  • Explorar un área en mi ciudad que nunca he visitado
  • Organizar una reunión para ver películas en casa con amigos o familiares
  • Crear una lista de reproducción de música para el verano

Una lista de actividades de verano con un presupuesto accesible también puede ser una excelente oportunidad para intentar algo nuevo o establecer una meta personal. Tal vez se trate de aprender una nueva habilidad, leer un libro que ha querido comenzar, o reconectar con amigos y familiares de una manera diferente. Escribir sus ideas puede ayudarle a priorizar las actividades que más le importan, al mismo tiempo que deja espacio para la espontaneidad y la flexibilidad.

Una de las mayores ventajas de tener una lista de actividades para el verano es que le anima a dar más importancia a las experiencias que al dinero. Un verano significativo no tiene que estar lleno de aventuras costosas. Algunos de los mejores recuerdos nacen de los momentos sencillos, de las nuevas experiencias, y del tiempo compartido con las personas y las actividades que más disfruta.

Self-Guided Summer Fun 

By Stacie Prada

When looking for things to do in the summer months, I think of my favorite experiences and memories. Some were big, pricey events with lots of planning, and some cost next to nothing, were memorable for some reason, and were special for who I did them with. 

This summer I’ll have close family visit me. Our primary goals are to spend time together and relax. Still, it’s the perfect opportunity to create an indulgent staycation for me and a fun vacation for them. They’ve already visited many times, so my goal is to do more of what we’ve enjoyed in the past and find new experiences for us to enjoy together.

Summer Plans on a Budget: How I Make the Most of Summer Living with MS

By Nicole Robinson

The heat, the fatigue, the unpredictability of symptoms – it all factors into how I plan, what I commit to, and how I protect my energy while still enjoying the season. Over the years I have learned that a meaningful summer does not require a big budget or an ambitious itinerary. It requires intention. And a little planning ahead never hurts either.

Sometimes the best kind of summer is a simple staycation right where you live.

The Best Summer Memories Don’t Have to Cost a Fortune

By Dan and Jennifer Digmann

The mid-summer scent of grilled hot dogs hung in the air as the sun started setting and we twisted open another ice-cold beer.

Stadium organ music playing “Charge” faded into the background as our friend Erica asked Dan for another bag of Cracker Jack.

Welcome to an evening on our back deck.
