See about doing an escape room or playing paintball or laser tag or something like that.
I would do a karaoke cookout. Rent a PA, find a karaoke web service, buy a bunch of beer, burgers, dogs, etc. Profit.
Combine the two. Paintball karaoke!

Flub your song & you get shot!!!Combine the two. Paintball karaoke!
Camping trip sounds great. Congrats on the marriage thing btw!Not sure karaoke is up the alley of my group lol. The rest sounds right. My best man will 100% plan a camping/cabin trip for my stag party because I hate large groups and formal stuff and live for outdoorsy stuff so I don't wanna basically do a typical outdoor bbq thing since that'll happen again...

Bought a Sierra 1500 last month, I am a younger guy and have wanted a truck for about 3 years now and love the thing to death but now that i've owned it for a bit and the "fun" has worn off i really wish i just bought a bigger car or something like a Ford Escape, the good thing is that i bought it used and payed only about 19k for it CDN and would probably only lose 2 grand if I sold it right now (taxes). It drives me absolutely crazy filling this thing with fuel at over twice the price of my previous car when it's just me driving it 90% of the time. Should I just take the loss and go get something smaller? or just get used to paying close to double on fuel? I only drive about 15,000km a year. I went from a tiny car averaging 7L/100km to averaging 15L/100km and staring at just hating the idea of doubling my fuel cost just to drive me around.
Sell it and get something fuel efficient. Throw the savings into anything, including a new car fund.
Another option could be to get a really cheap beater as your low cost daily driver and the cost is covered by the fuel savings.
I know someone who bought a used Prius and the payments were offset by the fuel cost savings over using his Lincoln Navigator as his daily driver.
Or get a beater truck on the basis of say two years of fuel savings.

First bolded: That's a unique (and Awesome!!!!) situation. If you think it will persist, then I'd be inclined to give up your personal truck. OTOH, if you think you'll lose that perk, or that job, I'd be more reluctant to give up the personal truck.Good idea's, but honestly I have a work truck I could just take home if I really wanted to. Buying a truck was something I didn't think through long and hard enough and now I am regretting that decision big time even though I got an amazing truck at a great price that has already depreciated most of it's value. I think it'll be a learning lesson for me..I am young and living at home still and have a good job, and since I already have it I think I’ll keep it for a few months at least then just look at something that’s bigger then what I had (Mazda 3) but smaller then the truck and good on fuel.

Second bolded: Not disputing your contention, but it sounds as though you got an amazing truck at a great sticker price (with corresponding significant depreciation, which is a "carrying cost"), but without factoring in the $2k/year increased gas cost, as a "carrying cost". For large ticket items: cars, homes, luxuries like boats, etc. you need to consider the carrying cost as part of the total purchase - depreciation, insurance, maintenance, cleaning/upkeep, even your time - besides just the purchase price.
FWIW, One of my favorite expressions is "it's better to have a friend with a boat, than to have a boat". If, however, fishing is your single passion and your life routinely plans time for that, then yes, e.g., a boat makes sense for you.
Lastly, I posted previously that I bought a 2016 F150 crew cab (aluminum body) with 2.7L v-6 eco-boost turbo and love it. Also, check your driving style. I get better gas mileage than my wife when she drives the truck, but that's because of driving style. As compared to me, she routinely: turns off the eco-boost because it annoys her, accelerates faster, brakes later, brakes more often, and coasts less. It's a couple mpg difference between us, but I've driven that way for 30 years so it's instinctive to me to drive to conserve fuel. And I'm not a hyper-miler.
We've had a Honda insight before (like it but outgrew it), and her family has 2 Prius' (1 "regular", 1 wagon). You might want to look into those down the road (pun intended).
I had band practice and now I am lil tipsy y'all. Who wants to party?
That sounds like one hell of a party my friend.I have two projects due this week, my mother-in-law is arriving tomorrow and I need to get my car registration and insurance swapped over on the van by the end of the week. I wish I was tipsy and coming from band practice.
Im a truck guy 100%, but you're talking an extra $200 bucks in fuel alone a month (although insurance is cheaper). I literally looked at trucks every day and the one I got was an absolute steal to, and I still have regrets about it. I just feel stuck now because I damn well know I am going to be thinking about how it will got $15 bucks to drive 100km now.
I've wanted to buy a truck for a while too, I still will, just later on in life. Like you it'd be for the cottage and all the great options a truck provides.
For now, I have my own truck for work and she just swallows gas, good ole F350. Put a good 250 in her a week, thank **** I don't pay that. I also wouldn't be surprised to see gas prices go through the roof this summer in Ontario.
