<prompt> Human: A couple friends and I are doing 30 day challenges in areas where wed like to improve. In prep for Frugal February, Im compiling a spreadsheet of activities we will attempt to accomplish over the month to get our financial houses in order. This will probably be a combination of activities we can do privately and cooperatively. i.e. calculate networth, create a budget, track spending, read and discuss a PF book, borrow something instead of buying, participate in a lunch potluck, contribute to rpersonalfinance... What other activities would you suggest we add? Edit: so many awesome ideas! Making the list draft public for folks rolling their own challenges  <response>: Learn a new skill!Pick something that you would have paid someone else to do, but can now do yourself. Some ideas: Learn to hem your own pants Learn to change your cars oil and where to dispose of the oil Learn to unclog a sink or toilet, or replace a P-Trap Learn how to cook a favorite restaurant dish Pad Thai? Sushi?Ideally, you can learn all these things from your library, youtube or other free resources. Sure youll need to outlay some money on supplies or tools, but the idea is its something that will have long dividends.
