Staying home and just sitting at the computer, either watching YouTube, a torrented movie/anime, or playing video games.
I'm doing well enough even though inflation hurts. I'm trying to save money to be able to put a down payment on a house some dayshould the market ever correct. While my current living situation still affords me the ability to save I'm trying to take advantage of it for my future. Either I can maybe own some land and/or a house or I have a nice "oh shit" fund.
