Make the most of free entertainment

If something is for free, why not take advantage of it while you can? One of the perks of retirement is that after a lifetime of hard work, you are finally rewarded with some freebies.

You can go to a museum and enter for free or borrow a book from the public library without paying anything for it. If you want to explore your talent, you can participate in open mic nights at a local coffee shop or theater, which, in most cases, do not ask for any admission fee or, if you want to continue your studies, you can attend at a local college or university that offers free classes for retirees.
