Expensive Hobbies - What Are Yours?

[jda]

I have seen a lot of people complaining about the costs of reefing. To me, reefing is a low-moderate cost hobby (if you don't kill stuff), so I wanted to see what other hobbies that people have that cost more. All hobbies cost money, so what else do you do that is more expensive than reefing?

For me, I have:
Classic Cars - 1950 Ford Truck and 1972 Olds Convertible
Vinyl Records - Wow!
First Edition Books - super expensive
Teenagers (joking)

I am also looking at getting an Airplane. Travel is going to get huge one all of the kids are off of the payroll.

Just curious... I have no idea how much it costs to be a gamer and play fortnite or other stuff all the time, or really anything else. I have heard that boating, mini-monster trucks, drinking, campers/motor homes, ATVs are very expensive since I have friends who complain about the costs.

I’m a gamer and it costs a lot of money for a gaming laptop/pc, games, headphones, chair, desk, keyboard, etc. But I’m sure there are more expensive hobbies out there than gaming

Mt. biking. Maintenance, replace/breaking things, traveling, and upgrades. Was racing at one point, traveling food and lodge was getting to expensive.

It's way to easy to get caught up in things when you get into anything now a days!

Shut up and take my money kinda things.

 

[trvsty]

every hobby of mine is expensive...
i got into pc building for a while and spent a grand or two on all that
obviously the reefs, i don't even want to know how much i spend
photography, cameras are reasonable but lenses are crazy expensive
vinyls, not that expensive but it piles up

McIntosh MT5, McIntosh MAC6700, Focal Utopias here in my office. MT10, Grande Utopias in the Family Room. I forgot about those.

I used to work at Google in Boulder, CO rand some of those people had bikes that cost more than their brand new Prius. Good call.

I keep hearing Boulder is amazing, wish to travel that way sometime. Only been out west once and loved it. I'm From Michigan. Biking is way different out that way with massive elevation.

Music in general, my guitar and amp collection is north of $30,000 and my recording studio which is not even close to professional is pushing $60,000. I’ve spent more on cables for my studio than I have my 3 saltwater tanks fully stocked

Drinking. Not the alcoholic kind but the good liquor kind.

 

[Joedubyk]

I've made this hobby UBER expensive...but traveling is my other. But , with all my biz expenses going on my travel CC, it's not so bad with flights anymore

My expensive hobby is flying my own airplane. There’s nothing quite like it. Here’s my bird.

Jeeps - upgrading and off roading gets very expensive.

Guns - buying a gun is usually the cheapest part, then there is holsters, cases, ammo, optics, mounts, magazines, training, cleaning supplies, etc

 

[Camaro Show Corals]

My camaro has about $10k+ worth of mods.
I’m a huge golfer and gear Junkie I am always buying new clubs and shafts I probably got $1,500 in shafts sitting in my room. Even though I’m in the ncaa and get free bags,clothes, free acess to one golf club and unlimited range balls but that course is always packed and they won’t give members early tee times it’s always saved for the resorts guests and that’s a joke. Can’t tell you how many locals have left from playing 5 days a week to maybe 1 day a week there. So I just joined a private country club.

 

[Reefnub]

Yeah my most expensive hobby is just modifying my C63 and its maintenance.

 

[DrewBrees713]

My most exepsive hobby trumps everyone else’s. It’s my gf

Piper Navajo Chieftain Panther is on my list in the next few years. Gotta get a few more kids out of college and this might even save me money since at least the plane will hold it's value if well maintained.

The amazing thing is that you can start in Boulder at 5,000 feet for a few miles and then be at 8,000-10,000 feet in just an hour of pedaling. If you come, see if you can pedal over Rocky Mountain National Park to the other side of the continental divide - 12,000 feet above the tundra and it is no joke, but a once in a lifetime experience to those who make it.

Reef is my most expenisve.

Fun thread!

Pet ownership in general is expensive. My dog is a money pit, he’s cared for better than I probably care for myself haha.

Cars- got an old 73’ mustang and my 17’ WRX to play with.

Reef is my most expenisve.

Same here. I used to have more expensive hobbies with cars and motorcycles, but those are gone and the reef stayed.

Diving. Doesn't really cost too much unless you happen to live in the mid-west.
