Mine is gardening. Cheap to start, gives you exercise, and ultimately pays you in food.

Except if you plant flowers. Bulbs taste awful.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

You can trade or sell bulbs though

We are not a waste of money!

Be sure to see if your local library or community center has hobby stuff to check out or cheap classes! YMMV depending on how well funded they are, but it’s becoming really common to have a 3D printer, specialty baking pans, tools, etc.

This is why I turned to hardcore drugs. Much cheaper.

...Factorio counts as a drug, right?

Turns out PC's are a cheap hobby.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Many hobbies are cheap if you choose wisely out of your possible interests; and then go with cheap, good enough options rather than getting swept up in online echo chambers (where nothing less than top tier is acceptable).

I mean, what else to spend spare money on besides the things I enjoy. Like other people spend thousands travel. I spend the same amount on a box of Warhammer. Jk. I can't afford Warhammer.

No! You're supposed to be miserable for your entire youth by saving and investing every penny you don't need to survive! That way you can afford all the medical bills and therapy you'll need when you're old and retired and have had a life devoid of joy!!

Sigma grindset!!!!

Am I the only person with financial self control?? (I hate joy)

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago (1 children)

There's usually a point in hobbies where you can find a great price/enjoyment point. Until you want to go deeper down the rabbit hole

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Why go deeper when you can quit a hobby every 3 months. th-3134988934

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

Oh yeah, so self controled... why don't you buy a 3d printer then hun?!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Don't worry, you can develop a WarThunder ~~addiction~~ hobby and know neither financial self control, nor joy!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Joy is DLC in my hobby.
