00:00New Year's Eve is almost upon us, which usually means overpriced champagne and getting stuck in
00:04a cab when the clock strikes midnight. And if you're like many Americans who were not treated
00:08well in 2024, here are a few ideas to do New Year's on a budget. First, you can consider
00:14staying in instead of going out. That means invite some friends over and buy that bottom
00:18shelf champagne for the toast. Better yet, make it BYOB. If staying up late isn't your thing,
00:23consider going out or hosting a New Year's brunch. It's a good way to ring in the New
00:27Year and avoid the crowds and the hangover headaches. If you have kids or simply want
00:31to get more involved, you could always check the calendar at your local community gathering places.
00:35This could be an event for kids or an adults-only meetup. Either way, you might make some new
00:39friends before the ball ever drops. And don't forget, those in need are also in need on New
00:44Year's Eve, meaning local aid organizations are likely looking for extra help. When in doubt,
00:49take solace in knowing that the best New Year's Eve is whatever you want it to be,
00:53meaning you can always cozy up on the couch for a little binge all your own.
