When asked what would help them prioritize fun more, the answers pointed in a clear direction. More than half (55%) said low-cost options would make the biggest difference
I definitely get this
Its at least $200 just to leave our house it seems

What a novel concept! What generation do we have to thank for that. The Greatest, the Silent, Boomers, Gen X and some Millennials and very few Gen Z’ers.

Meh, maybe a little, but some of the things that use to bring us the most carefree joy was just hanging out with people you love, doesn't really matter where, doesn't really matter what you were doing. Just talking, laughing your asses off, telling friend stories, and simply forgetting about everything for a while
But now we are always carrying something with us into those moments, probably silently, and you can never really enjoy them as fully as you once did and if we do, it is much more fleeting
Always being connected to the world has essentially reprogrammed us to be worried about something at all times

Excellent advice. I would also add life isn’t fair.

Researchers found that people who do manage to carve out regular fun report feeling less stressed, more motivated, and closer to the people they love. For the growing share of adults who can’t seem to get there, that gap has real costs. On paper, fun sounds simple. In practice, it keeps losing to everything else on the calendar.
This right here is why I love living near the beach. We are blessed to be able to do a little bit of traveling each year, go to an occasional show, sporting events, frequent the movie theater, etc for a fun day…but even when finances or time were tight we could just bike to the beach for world class sunsets and completely relax for an hour.
In fact though anybody that enjoys the outdoors can probably find something in their area that is free or close to free and is fun. A park, a swimming hole, trails, scenery, etc.

It is not that people do not have time to have fun and enjoy themselves, it is that they simply cannot
Most people really arent capable of living fully in a moment of time anymore, they carry stresses from elsewhere whether in their mind, in their inbox, on their phone
This is something a lot of us were able to do as children but lose the ability to do as adults. It is somewhat of a natural tendency as we get older with more responsibility and more concerns, but I think this has been greatly exacerbated and accelerated by cell phones essentially becoming another body part for us
That's me. I cannot remember the last time I felt happiness, much less joy. Watching loved ones whither and die, Knowing that you are next, and there isn't a damned thing you can do about it, other than perhaps delay it a bit.
Doc says its 'Trauma' from my life thus far, as in PTSD, a little Autism and a little ADD...I never believed in any of that rot but that's what they say I have.
And yep, its my fault, I own it, I don't know how to say no, I don't know how not to care. I don't know how to be an a-hole, I don't know how to be mean, all things a man needs to make it in the world.
I don't fish, I don't hunt, I don't golf, I don't play sports. I don't travel, I don't drink, I don't smoke weed. I just sit and watch the world go by.
I know I am fricked up, and just stay to myself rather than infect others. So I can totally believe the statistics, because I know more than a few people like me, they just choose to hide it. I ain't hiding shite. There ain't no more fun, there ain't no more good times. It just isn't relevant to my life, and never has been relevant.

Social Media is the problem. Those not having fun, care too much about what other people think to enjoy it.

Almost Half Of Americans Say The Fun In Their Lives Has Disappeared
We're not meant to live like this. Living in boxes, working in another box while you stare at another box all day, almost completely cut off from the real, natural world. Everything is fake or altered or curated or influenced. It's all bullshite. None of it matters. We don't need all this shite, most of us don't even want it.
Also, fun is for children.
