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.

Music production. Started with a old pc and a pirated version of ableton. Now I bought my first top tier laptop and a license of ableton… and oh whats that around the corner? Is that a modular synth?

Don't get me started on keyboards, and MIDI interfaces, and DACs, and audio monitors, and cables... And plug-ins

Before you get into physical modular synths, have you tried VCV Rack? It could exacerbate things for you, but it helped me avoid/delay falling into the rabbit hole of buying such hardware haha.

Oh boy I know exactly where my next spare money is going.. first a syntakt and after that my eurorack journey will finally begin! And I will be broke and happy!

I know from the money standpoint it’s stupid as fuck, but damn i just wont the cirklon so bad!
