Refusing to socialize with your friends will cost you your friends. It's true that some people socialize by going out to bars and what not. If you don't wish to do that, you can arrange cheaper alternative. 1. BBQ (Go to a good meat market, for $30 bucks, you could get enough meat (chicken and burger) to feed 8 people. If your friends chip in, bring a few drinks, it would cost everyone less than $10. 2. Netflix/Movies@Home (Have everyone come over, make popcorn, drink cheap beer, watch a great movie) 3. Games (board, card, video game) 4. Activities (sports, hike, museum, art fair, food fest, local city music festivals) There are tons of ways to socialize with friends for free or the cheap. Sure, some might not be into that, then so be it, you can make new ones and retain the ones that are into it.
