Going out doesn't require a lot of money. I didn't have much to work with myself, so I found all the free events I could. Sometimes I just hung out in the bookstore, sitting in one of the comfy chairs reading a book. Check in your local newspaper, online, etc.
If you're in a larger metro area, Meetup.com has local groups that sponsor fun events around whatever the group's theme is. I got involved in a movie group, a walking group, a sushi group, etc. The cool thing about it is that you just show up to the event, and you get to meet a lot of people.
Thanks for the suggestions, SDFG! Money is very tight for me and I've found it very difficult to GAL.
(((PIGA))) Hang it there. I know how hard it is.
