A Broke Post-Grad's Guide to Bar Night
Ah, the sweet liberation of post-grad life! No more essays, no more exams, no more living off ramen noodles! But wait, you're broke. And you still want to go out and have fun with your pals. Fear not, young grasshopper. Here are a few tips to make sure your wallet doesn't take a beating every time you hit the town.
Breaking Bread
Sharing is caring, and it's also a great way to save some cash. Next time you go out with a group, skip the individual meals and go for something shareable like nachos, pizzas, or flatbreads. Not only will you save some dough, but you'll also get to bond with your mates over a giant plate of cheesy goodness.
Know Your Night
If you're like most 20-something-year-olds, you already know which bar nights line up with your schedule. Happy hours, dollar domestics, wing nights – you name it, you're there. But if you're new to the game, do your research. Trust us, nothing beats walking into a dive bar with a crisp ten-dollar bill in your pocket, knowing it's enough to get you blackout drunk.
Celebrating Nostalgia
Remember the good old days when you lived off hot and ready pizzas and Natural Light? Yeah, we don't miss that either. But don't forget to celebrate your past once in a while. Treat yourself to a top-shelf drink or a few fancy cocktails – you've earned it! Just don't make it a habit or you'll end up back at square one, living off ramen noodles again.
So, there you have it – a broke post-grad's guide to bar night. Follow these tips and you'll be the life of the party without breaking the bank. Cheers!
