The king of frugal hobbies. Reading can educate you about the world or grip you with an amazing tale. You probably have a library near you that is full of good books available for free. From literature to biographies, poetry to blogs - there is something for everyone.

Humans have occupied themselves by writing since 3200 BC. You only need a computer or a pen and paper and you are away. Whether you like writing angry letters to the editor or want to work on writing the next War and Peace, you are not going to spend much money in the process.

There are heaps of wonderful free resources available online to help you learn a language. You can listen to podcasts on the way to work or work through a structured course. Soon enough you will be speaking French or any other language.

Learn a language, listen to your favorite comedian, listen to a great documentary or catch up on the latest news. Podcasts are an awesome source of information and are (by and large) free.

Painting, sketching, doodling or being creative with a pencil. Drawing is one of the cheapest ways to pass the time.

If reading is the best cheap intellectual pastime then running is the exercise equivalent. You can do it almost anywhere and you only need decent foot ware. There is always something to improve on, races to enter and PBs to beat.
