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.

Camping and camping gear. It can be so cheap and easy, but when you start buying high end gear it adds up quick.

Not to mention the different types of camping, backpacking, car camping, glamping, etc. Car camping “overlanding” gear is awesome, but so expensive.

Came to say this. I enjoy hunting and outdoor activities so I have a multitude of gear. What I use depends on where I am going, who is going with me, and what activities we plan on doing. Such as:

  1. 30ft Toy Hauler Camper

  2. UTV and flatbed trailer

  3. Truck bed Tent

  4. Tents of various sizes and various types of climates

  5. Sleeping bags for various climates

  6. Hiking/Hunting clothes and shoes for various climates

  7. Binos and Spotting scopes of various styles

  8. Backpacks... So many backpacks

  9. Rifles of various calibers for hunting different game and environments and various fishing poles

  10. Lifejackets, paddle boards, and kayaks
