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

Except if you plant flowers. Bulbs taste awful.

Depends on the flower. Brassicas are generally edible and technically flowers.

Asparagus is just a fern. Idk what pineapple is but it looks fake.

Sunflowers are nice too

Never get into actual warhammer, only videogames.

Or go for the cheaper alternatives. Or just buy a 3D printer, so you can have beautiful, unpainted armies that'll never see any action, just like 70% of all GW models!

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

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

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

I do some cross stitching and it hasn't been bad. Even using kits instead of doing custom ones. I've got like $120 CAD worth of large kits and, at the rate I'm going, they'll probably last me a decade or maybe my daughter will inherit some of them.

I'm well into year 2 of working on the current one.

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.

Bruh. 3d printing is a mildly expensive gateway hobby that funnels things into other hobbies

Turns out PC's are a cheap hobby.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 days 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).

My bike is my pride and joy but good god she is also a money sink.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Do you mean bicycle or motorcycle? What do you find yourself spending most of your bike money on? Most of my bicycle maintenance is for brake pads and the occasional replacement chain; not as many replacing tire tubes after getting nicer tires. Although I haven't been able to enjoy mine lately after putting on weight and 4 seats I've tried still make my butt numb after 20 minutes.
