40K, not even once.
If you’re into dumb shit then it is a lot of fun, though, and a great creative outlet. Expensive as fuck, though.
Not saying dumb shit in an insulting way, my favorite genre of anything is dumb shit.
Yeah I see you...

I teach guitar lessons. They’re only £15 per hour. But the guitar will cost you £150. And the amp will cost you £100. And being in a band will cost you £10 per rehearsal for the rest of your life. Wanna tour? Bad news, bud. It’ll cost ya.

Good luck selling that.

Me: I’m gonna take horseback riding lessons! Maybe I’ll get my own horse in like five years!
Me two years later: pays at least $350/month on the horse I was given for $0
Also me: I’ll never financially recover. Yee haw! 🤠

So far I have only spent £200 on 40k because I’m such a slow painter that I’m still on the starter set 7 months later. Procrastinating saves a lot of money.

I got into making and designing small tabletop model steam engines because they are cool. So I needed to buy a small lathe, a mill, a metal cutting bandsaw, and all the tooling each machine needed. So much tooling…That’s the part that will break you financially.
And then you discover you need to design and make a jig or fixture to make a special tool to make another special jig and fixture to make a tool to make that one tiny part for that engine. None of which you will probably ever use again. You end up making tools to make tools to make tools. You can spend 6 months to a year designing and building tools just to get to make that one little part.
I’ve got thousands of dollars and thousands of hours into making engines that I just give away over the years. But I can’t stop this hobby. And I have added 3D printing to my list of hobbies as well.
At least it got me away from collecting fine antique shotguns and importing hunting dogs.

I’ve realized my hobby is optimizing my space to do my hobbies. If I ever get my workspace just like I want it for projects, I won’t know what to do with myself. The workshop is the project.

This sounds more like skills than hobbies. You might not get paid for it but you totally could. What you are making is valuable to someone

NGL making tools to make tools to make tools scratches a persistent itch in my brain. That all sounds very satisfying.

well yeah, a guitar like that could do the job of two of your other guitars.
not that you’re going to sell those two other guitars, it’s just you told yourself you would, to justify the new one

I don’t like this “meme”. Hobbies are supposed to be fun, it’s fine to spend money on things you think are fun as long as that spending doesn’t interfere with survival. Just don’t spend all your money on something “someone” (ads, influencers,…) told you might be fun.

Do not propagate? Challenge accepted.
HerbGrower@slrpnk.net 17 hours ago
I tell myself that they will pay for themselves because I can eat them. After a few more years if I can work out what grows well that mat actually become true…
Found some cheap beetroot seeds yesterday, pack of 4 different colours of beetroot and I have 1800 seeds for £1.50, so that will almost certainly pay for its self as long as at least like 5 of them grow to a decent size.
Most of the wasted cost is in stuff I buy that fails. But if you measure it on a per plant basis my most successful has been rosemary. One of my oldest plants and propagated so much from a single plant. “Do not propagate” sticker on it when I bought it was taken as a challenge. I now have about 12 of them. Mostly use it with sage and dehydrate them to mix with salt, goes great on roast potatoes.

I know you are joking but I wanted to add that a hobby isn’t a hobby if you earn money (that is a job) because the real reason you do it, is because of brain stimulation or even meditation, I think going out with friends is also a hobby (less structured), and alcohol is never a net plus but we do not think we need to earn money when we go out it is the happiness it brings we pay for.

What new hobby? Oh, that? Yeah, I’m kinda over that. Anybody want to buy a $500 thing, barely used once?
Fine, I’ll take $75?
Fine, $20!?
TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 hours ago
It’s worth €2000, most of it is never used. I’ll list it for €1000, only pickup possible due to vast size and weight. Only serious offers please. (I’ll take any offer over €750)
Average offer: €50 including shipping.
Fuck it, I’ll just store it with the collection of other old hobby stuff.
