NTA but I spend about $30/month on various self-hosting-specific services: Usenet subscription, VPN, Plex Pass, a few little recurring donations to OSSes that I use, etc.
It's not really self-hosting unless you own the hardware. But I support your sentiment!
I do own the hardware. 5x8tb (down from 6) drives of media on my desktop (Phanteks Enthoo Pro is the best case ever made)
