Ugh! Why is everything so expensive in this city? Are there any affordable activities for adults in Atlanta?

High Museum (regular visit or High Frequency Fridays), Fernbank After Dark, theater shows (like at the Alliance or one of the many other spots in metro Atlanta), farmers markets, check out Eventbrite and meetup.com too. Lots to do here for not a lot of money or even free but it depends on what you’re into.

Depends on how you classify affordable. Some things under $50 include:

- movies ( AMC has discounts on Tuesdays)
- festivals (most have free entry)
- farmers market (free entry)
- karaoke night at bars (free entry)
- trivia night at bar (free entry)
- puttshack ($14 per game)
- pickleball group lessons (most are under $25)
- adult rec sports (most are $100 to register for a season. So 2-3 months)
- hiking (free)
- yoga at every other Monday at the battery (free on eventbrite)

I honestly struggle with the politics of Afghanistan. It does appear that after 20 years we leave and within months it goes back to very similar or on its way. It’s not the US job to be the world police we did try to build coalitions and fail at the end of the day unless we’re willing to keep troops there forever which most Americans don’t want to I am not sure what the right thing to do is. And I’m sick of criticism just for the sake of the president. I don’t think there’s a perfect solution
