We challenge you!

The summer is finally here and we know that you’re looking to have fun without breaking the bank or cutting into your trading fund. So here’s our challenge: do something you’ve never done before with just $5.

Here are 5 ideas from the Banc De Binary team. If you have other suggestions, share them with us on our Facebook page.

1) Date Night

Spicing up your relationship doesn’t have to cost millions. It’s time to get off the couch and get outside! Buy your favorite snacks, pack a blanket, and go for a romantic, night time picnic at the park or beach.

2) Comedy Night

Forget buying an expensive ticket for a comedy show. Instead, find out which bars or pubs host a free comedy night. Support a local, upcoming performer, and enjoy an evening of laughs for the price of a beer.

3) Cooking Competition

Fancy yourself as the next Gordon Ramsay? Invite a few friends over who can take the heat. You can each spend $5 on groceries, and you have one hour to cook up the most creative dish. You’ll obviously have to sample them all to decide who wins. Play fair.

4) Quiet Time

Treat yourself to a magazine that you would never normally buy, turn off your phone, and find a new place near home to sit, read, and relax. It sounds simple, but be honest, when’s the last time you did something like that?

5) City Cycle

Whether you’re in Berlin, London or Moscow, loads of cities now have cycles that you can rent cheaply for the day. Why not take a friend along for the ride and agree to visit a part of the city that you’ve never explored before?
