A couple more tips:
1. If you have a junk mail email account, use it to sign up for free events with free food, drink, entertainment. I went to an art gallery party with free drinks, good music, decent art for the price of a subway ride to and fro. All I had to do was get marketing email from Toyota about their hipster cars. (Which I’m rapidly falling out of their demographic, but they don’t need to know that! Or maybe I’m already out of it…)
2. Get an old bike and ride it everywhere.
3. Give up your car. My best friend from college is a ‘professional bus rider’. During her post-college courtship, her husband called her this because she hadn’t had a car since she left high school. She walked, took the bus, got a ride or rented a car. With new car sharing programs like Zipcar, she didn’t get a car till she got married, i.e. shares her husband’s. My friend was very creative and went through the university’s program to certify drivers for student events. With that, she’d ferry people around on student activity events like dim sum in the local Chinatown district, trips to nearby cities, etc. The student activities budget of the university paid for the van, insurance and gas, so all we had to do was buy our own food on trips.
