I barely spent any money on my hobbies this year. I'm not some kind of sucker!

I merely spent thousands of dollars on materials and tools to build the supporting infrastructure for them!

I also have some very expensive computer parts waiting to be assembled. But they aren't for any hobby of mine! They're for the kid so we can play stuff without him using a computer twice as old as he is. ๐Ÿ˜‰

My friends and me with magic the gathering

My hobby of flipping antic gold coins into ponds cost me pretty penny but it's so rewarding! Once I'm good at it I'll turn it into a side hustle and it'll have paid for itself in no time!

I thought it said what having a hobby does to a MILF.

Cries in synthesizers.

At least there are a bunch of great budget options these days. Still not cheap though.

That's why I won't start painting 40K minis, even if I'd love to. I wouldn't even want to play. Besides, I wouldn't have anyone to play with, anyway.

It only feels that way because corporations and their billionaire leaders keep eroding our ability to afford anything beyond basic requirements and decreasing the amount that they pay for labor. Working 40 hours a week should give you enough money to survive and have a couple of hobbies, at a minimum.

I have below beginner level astrophotography gear, and I've still spent over $500 on it. A proper tracking mount costs somewhere in the ballpark of $1,000, and that's just the mount. Granted I'm happy with the OTAs I have, so I'm probably not buying a new scope for a while

Conlanging is a very cheap hobby. Quoth Tolkien in A Secret Vice

It is incidentally one of the attractions of this hobby that it needs so little apparatus!

Craft beer for me.

My hobby is burning other people's money.

I play Star Citizen. My wife has no idea the cost. I have no regrets.

Between photography, motorcycles, and tools (woodworking/metalworking/automotive) this does seem accurate for me - I have ended up spending a fair chunk of money between these over the years. The tools do mean I can do stuff myself though rather than paying someone else so they at least are less of a money pit.

Every now and then I think paragliding would be an interesting thing to try but I have to tell myself another expensive hobby is hard to justify when I'd like to actually own a place to live some day.

What do you mean? You will simply live in your paraglider! You'll be like one of those birds that stays aloft for months at a time. There you will be, a child of the sky. No need for land. No need for rent. Just a literal leaf on the wind.

You can't take the sky from me...

Not in America! My hobby is my second job

These guys seem awesome. They deleted their backlog in like 1992 or '93 and said they wouldn't release an album until world peace was declared.

They didn't really keep that promise, but their next release was "K Cera Cera (War Is Over If You Want It)" in 1993, released exclusively in Israel and Palestine after the peace deal between Israel and the PLO.

i mean, my hobbies have major upfront expenses but are cheap afters. bideo games: console expensive, library games free. musical instruments expensive, reeds/springs cheap, music cheap/free. smoker expensive, food only a little more expensive. just gotta choose well.
