my current hobby has so far cost me about $5k over 10 years

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Do we just guess what that hobby is?

I don’t mean this to come across as rude, but why would you make this comment and not mention the hobby; without it the comment is pretty useless.

i dink around with welding. clear?

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Crystal.

I could have guessed until the end of time and welding probably wouldn’t have been a guess.

That’s a cool hobby. I know if I had a welder I wouldn’t be able to just not weld random things.

its a serious addiction. very hard to leave it alone sometimes.

As long as it’s not detrimental to other areas of your life, I don’t see that as a bad thing.

a few blisters is a small price to pay for the satisfaction

Honestly, 500 bucks a year is not that much to spend on a hobby as long as you're enjoying yourself.

Gunpla gives me great joy, until I look at my bank account.

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.

Relevant af... Been flirting with the idea of finally buying pro DJ gear after like 16 years of being a DJ. Have done a jillion weddings, and a healthy dose of misc functions from corporate shindigs, galas, house parties, bars, etc...

Have limped along so far by borrowing gear whenever I had a proper gig (plenty of friends in the scene) but now I have some fun money budget. The spicy pro gear is soooo stupidly expensive but about time I had real gear off my own. The cereal box bedroom toy deck only gets you so far.
