If 50 cents a day is prohibitively expensive you are better off with the disposable free time to get a paper route, mow a lawn, do some extra chores for the folks, work at McDoanld's 15 hours a week after school, babysit, clean a neighbor's pool...All it takes $180 and you're a paying AH member for an entire year...
I know, I did all of the above when I was young and broke to afford recreation...
