maybe) already got your
Father's Day gifts covered, and now it's just a question of how to spend the day.
According to seasonal advertising, your options are limited to only the most traditionally masculine of activities. You can barbecue, attend a sporting event, have dinner at the Playboy Mansion, etc. But if you're tired of doing the same activities year after year, here are a few suggestions for frugal Father's Day activities outside of the hyper-masculine box.

Seeking to answer that old question, "
Can money can buy happiness?," a recent study polled subjects about their
income and emotional well-being. The researchers asked about how much the subjects had laughed, smiled, and "experienced enjoyment" the previous day. The findings suggest that money has a significant effect on a person's reported happiness up to the income level of about $75,000 (
yearly income per individual). After that, increased income appears to have little effect on happiness, according to this research.
Whether or not you've reached the $75,000 a year level, I think everyone deserves affordable ways to laugh, smile, and experience enjoyment.
