What is your "inexpensive" hobby that turned out to be expensive/ you gradually invested lots of money into?

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.

Every. Single. One.

That is the right answer.

My dad got me in homebrewing so at least in that one I didn't invest much because I use his (our) setup.

Exactly. Some more than others but currently:

Magic the Gathering, eletronics (repair/modding), retro video games, mechanical keyboards, coffee, board games, even cooking... I wanted to fix my Switch because I didn't want to pay $120 for the repair and I definitely already paid more than $120 in tools. I will use them for other repairs and modding things so it isn't that bad.
