Walking around the neighborhood.
It's good exercise, you can meet your neighbors, and sometimes you can pick up something someone is throwing away that's in good condition.
100% this.
It changed my life, literally from being barely able to walk a few steps (even getting the mail at the door, I would then had to rest for the entire day) to be walking miles almost every single day of the year. It all started by walking a few feeble steps in my neighborhood, one day after the other. And it took me less than a year to get back into, let's say, a functional shape.
Great one. Also, try walking around a more affluent area than the one you live. You’d be surprised how often you can get a high end lawn mower for free that just needs a $15 tune up kit (or nothing these days if the owner happened to buy an electric).
This seems like a great way to get shot if you don't look like the right kind of person.
The thing about the more affluent areas is they generally don’t shoot people there very much.
Not just more affluent areas but also places with students who don’t reside in that place normally. Living in Boston I got so much high end furniture off Japanese and Chinese students who weren’t moving that set or piece back home.
Oh yeah, another great tip!
