I do housework and work out daily. I also spend time with photography and music. There's lots of open source (free) programs for photo editing and music. I have a good camera, but even a phone camera would work.

I spend a few dollars a month on online classes and the authors have Facebook groups.

I write poetry and short stories. I also have a blog. Lots of companies offer blog space for free.

Some stuff has a learning curve, but that's what keeps my brain going.
