A question about hobbies

[Ideologue]

Was spending about 20% building up the blu ray collection, but that's fallen way off as I've begun to run out of reasonably priced shit I want, and also realized how much I was spending.

Maybe 15% now.  I may have chosen the wrong option.

I can even figure it out, I mean one of my hobbies is offshoot of my work so do i count $ spent on photography as hobby or work expense?

Sure.

You might want to remember that Ide doesn't really eat as much as he just snacks. He might be counting all those bags of chips as part of the Bluray Expenses.

It varies.  Depends on how much golf I play in a given year and what the Steam Christmas sale has.

Yeah, for like a month when they were practically giving shit away in November.

If buying books is a hobby, a reasonable amount ... 

Damn you, Amazon!

A'int that a fact.

I have been looking for some Lee .40 S&W/10mm Auto Reloading Dies. All the reloading places are out, nada, zip. Wouldnt you know there they were on Amazon.....SON OF A B........!. Ordered 30 min ago and they come in Saturday. Amazon Prime man!

Hard to say, but I'd guess around 10-20%, depending on what's considered a hobby.

Back when I was making decent money, it was probably closer to 50%.

[Maladict]

I'm trying to limit my spending to what I will actually use, on a yearly basis probably something like:
40-50 books
~5 DVDs
~1 computer game
2-3 boardgames
1 model ship
stuff for the bike

and every 5 years or so:
new PC
new camera
new bike

all of the money left (minus savings) is spent on traveling.

I pretty much ditched everything including gym membership and online gaming due to global economic collapse - maybe £10 on second-hand DVDs and books a month. Hopefully my pay rise will kick in in time to get my re-enactment shotgun and black power licence before the season's out.

[Josquius]

Seriously thinking....maybe a third.
A third for living, a third for saving and a third for buying games, travelling, going to gigs, etc...

[Valmy]

black power licence before the season's out.

I am glad they finally started regulating that.

[Malthus]

black power licence before the season's out.

I am glad they finally started regulating that.

I shudder to think what's the "season" about.

Too late to redact, but if anyone was worried that should read black powder.
