What percent of your total income do you spend on your hobbies per anum?

0-5%
6-10%
11-15%
>15%
More than I'm willing to admit
It's impossible to figure out

You spend it all on blueberries anyway.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

Because it never occurred to me that someone could make money on their hobbies. :hmm:
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

At least I will have a homemade gaming group available to me for a few years :P

Yeah, I've heard that one from friends as well.  Hasn't exactly worked out yet.

Sure didn't for us. They're finally old enough to be fun to game with, and two of them have moved away and are too cool to game, anyway. :glare:

My hobbies are anime, music and computer games.  The cost is either zero or immaterial  :ph34r:

The only exception is buying audio equipment.  Which hurts, but only happens, say, once in a decade.  I promise  :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r:

It was a compliment. :hug:

Other than wargames, I don't spend much on myself these days. My unread book pile is still at over a hundred, most computer games bore me ( still milking CKII) and other than a football game a year, console games have fallen off.

Since I decided to skip the whole wife and kids thing in life, my usual hobby expenditures are substantially higher than 10%.

At least I will have a homemade gaming group available to me for a few years :P

I'm just hoping on having a homemade curling team in a few years.   :cool:
