There are plenty of things you can do to reduce your spending, pay down your debt if you have any and start saving for retirement.

So, cancel your Netflix subscription and HBO and start checking your movies out for free from the Miami Dade County Public Library. Check out their calendar of events too, because they have a ton of free events including dance workshops, language workshops and more!
- Quit the gym and look for free/cheap activities. The Miami Dade Public Parks system has a whole host of activities that are free or nearly free to get you moving, including walking clubs, soccer clubs for adults and more. Click here to check out what they have to offer.
