In reviewing my goal setting, business planning, scheduling, and how I'm going to maximize my time in REI, I'm a bit frustrated with the timing of recreating myself/career and the recent turnaround in the r/e market.

He mentioned it and it stuck with me, so I have been pursuing 250K/month cash flow.My personal living expenses are well under 7k/month, and that's with 3 kids, expensive wife, and lots of recreational activities. 

A Subway gift card is an invitation to a healthy lunch for a loved one who is out to lunch on a regular basis.4.Day of skiing or other outdoor recreation: Give your busy real estate professional a day on the slopes or another form of outdoor recreation that is local to your City or community.

Maybe you want an area with access to shopping, parks, recreation, etc.

Powder cocaine was seen as more of a recreational drug that could be used or discontinued at will.

Recreational travel usually slows down quite a bit during a recession (and it's reasonably likely that we're in a recession right now). 

The driveway & recreational area for kids is important.

Rei groups as many as possible never recreate the wheel just go with the flow.

The OP's question was regarding something inexpensive, but I maintain that using up your own valuable time recreating the wheel is one of the more expensive routes you can take.

These are recreational properties, one county over from me in a popular area for those activities.
