When I read my own list I can never quite believe it myself, especially as I'm so lazy !
My motto is "don't consume, produce" and it goes from there.
All those hours watching other people do stuff, it could be you. Get involved. Just walk up to people doing the thing and ask how to join in. Most people are keen to share.
Oh, and the last thing: I've never really made much money but I've had plenty of fun being poor.
A great place to do this is at your local maker/hackerspace! Since we started ours (sparkcc.org) I'm constantly amazed at the amount everyone learns from one another.
And as you say, that one night a week at the makerspace meetup could just as easily be spent in front of the TV.
