Edit: so it turns out that every hobby can be expensive if you do it long enough.

Also I love how you talk about your hobby as some addicts.

Playstation 4. Huge money went into buying discs and digital games.

Buy used.

The disk-less "cheaper" PS5 is 100% the more expensive option.

Also, if you buy a new game you'll have the option to sell it on, recovering some of your initial investment.

3D printing. Purchased a cheap 3D printer to save money printing things instead of buying things. 5 printer print farm later, no idea why I'm doing this to myself.

For me it's photography. I originally bought a camera and lens second hand. Now over the past two years its become rather a lot of money. I bought a Nikon Z8 last month and it was definitely worth the money.

It was only supposed to be a few of the affordable ones with basic accessories.

Game collecting

What started out as picking up C64, Atari, and Nintendo games in the 80s and 90s has turned into a collection of thousands of games totalling tens of thousands of dollars...
