I thought it said what having a hobby does to a MILF.

I have below beginner level astrophotography gear, and I've still spent over $500 on it. A proper tracking mount costs somewhere in the ballpark of $1,000, and that's just the mount. Granted I'm happy with the OTAs I have, so I'm probably not buying a new scope for a while

[–] thedirtyknapkin@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

yeah, $500 is tough to get into astro with.

plenty for general photography, but astro can get gear heavy fast. astro landscapes are becoming more accessible as more fast lenses get cheaper, but the kind of astro that needs a tracker is just pricy.

Between photography, motorcycles, and tools (woodworking/metalworking/automotive) this does seem accurate for me - I have ended up spending a fair chunk of money between these over the years. The tools do mean I can do stuff myself though rather than paying someone else so they at least are less of a money pit.

Every now and then I think paragliding would be an interesting thing to try but I have to tell myself another expensive hobby is hard to justify when I'd like to actually own a place to live some day.

Thankfully my hobby is video games so I really only have to buy something to play them on and then I can search for the One Piece if you catch my drift.

Need... that... new..... VPS!!!

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 days ago

Doing historical reenactment can be done in two ways:

  • spend an absolute fuckload of time on everything.

  • spend an absolute fuckload of money on everything.

The former is more historically accurate, but I completely understand not wanting to pick up flax farming as a side hobby.

Hobbies be like: !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com ( free :P )

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Choose a cheap hobby. I do art journaling - everything except the glue is free.

[–] BanMe@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Not in America! My hobby is my second job

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

i mean, my hobbies have major upfront expenses but are cheap afters. bideo games: console expensive, library games free. musical instruments expensive, reeds/springs cheap, music cheap/free. smoker expensive, food only a little more expensive. just gotta choose well.

[–] Tinks@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

My major hobby is like this mostly. Backpacking. Upfront cost for gear, but once you have it the only real recurring cost is food and gas to get to a spot. Sure sometimes you have to replace gear, but if you take care of it you can go for years with no gear costs except maybe shoes.

[–] TheTiltster@feddit.org 1 points 1 day ago

Yeah, as a Larper, I feel that (in my wallet...).

[–] zebidiah@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 days ago

......watch collecting, photography, motorcycling, hifi equipment & vintage synths, 😭😭😭

[–] Assassassin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 days ago

It only feels that way because corporations and their billionaire leaders keep eroding our ability to afford anything beyond basic requirements and decreasing the amount that they pay for labor. Working 40 hours a week should give you enough money to survive and have a couple of hobbies, at a minimum.
