Lonely 40 year old here. I quit socializing because I couldn't afford to do the things my friends wanted to do. Eat and drink at bars, go to movies, travel to conventions.
For a time, I was participating even though I couldn't afford. I racked up significant credit card debt. For me it's all about money, the language that communicates value. If my net worth is negative, that means I'm taking value away from society rather than contributing, and I won't put myself out there until I rectify that.
- xandrius 3y agoIt seems that it wasn't your crowd, nothing necessarily wrong with that. Lots of fun activities are mostly free or require very little upfront costs. Outdoor activities are an example. Even just setting up a board game group is generally low cost. If you're interested in finding like-minded people, you'll find them! Keep it up :)
- SauciestGNU 3y agoThe cheap/free activities can draw you into spending a lot of money too, if you have it. I bicycle every day, and I spend a lot of my otherwise unallocated money on bike stuff. Good hiking gear gets expensive too. But you can also get away without buying most of that stuff and still enjoy your time.
