camping sounds fun, wish i was more outdoorsy. really don't take advantage of california much

what kind of camping gear is expensive besides tents or whatever?

It's not that crazy expensive. I have multiple high end tents, packs, and bags/quilts. I also have a bunch of knives and saws and clothing and other bushcrafting stuff that I literally never use. I just watch vids on YouTube of outdoors guys and buy the shit they have LOL. I never use some of that stuff, it's complete poser bullshit on my part. I do go camping several times each year with my dog (we leave the wife at home).

Not much of a concern unless you're in Alaska. Start with car camping at a campground in a national park. Work up from there.

I don't think I have a single hobby that costs more than $1000 a year. TBH, it's probably "more than $500" except I spent about $800 on retro video games last year, mostly in one shot from a massive eBay auction win.

Part of it is just collecting, but I also have a distaste for piracy (even for old things) and, on a subconscious not fully rational level, I find it more enjoyable to play on the original carts with the original system and original controller. A contributing factor may be that I've had the same SNES my entire life.

I know how to replace the batteries and clean contacts. I bought a set of 12 "dead" games last year very cheap and got them all working with some alcohol, Brasso, and q-tips. It's very hard to permanently kill an SNES game.

Der Langrisser is a relatively obscure game I shill for a lot, though maybe it falls under your "no JRPG" umbrella. It's a tactical RPG where the major characters each have generic, expendable subordinate units. It has a relatively funny script, a bunch of branching paths, and (100% not flame at all) a bonus level dedicated to naked bodybuilding.

Lots of Mephistos. I have 7 pairs of Mephisto Match (5 full grain leather, 2 nubuck), brown Marlons, black Melchiors currently being resoled. Two pairs of Eccos with a bicycle toe; one brown, one black. Finn Comfort Chennai. Still growing collection, to be honest.

Every night I wipe the pair I wore with distilled water and brush with horse hair. Then I kill a hooker.

Are you buying old/rare books, tons of new ones, or just piling them up by the hundreds? I've been reading a fuckton lately and like buying physical books but it's still very unlikely I spend more than $400 or so.

no old or rare books. i'm not a collector, and i'm constantly getting rid of unnecessary books.

a good chunk of the outlay went to technical books, which tend to be on the expensive side and usually become obsolete within a few years. much of the rest went to books either for learning foreign languages or in them, which also get pretty expensive very quickly.

want to read aristotle in greek? pay $50 for a book whose translation you can pick up at a library sale for a dollar!

https://www.amazon.com/Aristotelis-Metaphysica-Greek-Language-Aristotle/dp/0198145136/

it also doesn't help that in the united states, the market for second hand foreign language books is non-existent, which forces me to buy a lot of new books.

Okay, that makes sense then.

In general I find books a great cheap hobby though my preference to own physical books is causing me to rapidly SUFFOCATE in my apartment beneath a great multitude of them.

you're right that on an hourly basis, even expensive books are very cheap. also don't enjoy reading on a kindle and avoid it whenever i can. i try to be disciplined in disposing books i don't need. a local public library is usually happy to take them off my hands.

where do you get the majority of your books?

I only get rid of books if I feel they're truly "obsolete," i.e. last Christmas I sorted through all the books at my parents' house and approved getting rid of most of the random children's books. However, my store of novels, history, and other nonfiction continues to accumulate.

I mostly buy from all the assorted online booksellers. BetterWorldBooks probably is the most common seller, but when I recently bought all of Evelyn Waugh's books Alilibris ended up having them at the best price point. If a book is going to cost me more than $5-6 books I find it worthwhile to look around a bit.

Besides that, I do like stopping into library sales, rummage sales, and used book stores and just looking around.

guns, although most of them retain at least 80% of their value. So if i spend $10k on guns the bottom line on my net worth spreadsheet only drops by $2k. Still, range time and ammo can get expensive.

- In the past driving events. I got fairly good, enough to instruct at some tracks, but it gets expensive between tires, brakes and the money you wind up throwing into mods on your car. Not to mention the time involved, hotels, etc. I’ll get back into it after the IPO and I’ll just buy a dedicated track car and do as much of the work on it as I can myself. It’s a very social thing, so good if you want to meet guy friends outside of your professional network. I did the OLOA twice, friends with Brock Yates before he died, stuff like that makes every dime I spent worth it.

- Photography, but that’s not really expensive since I buy my gear used and at times even sell things for a couple bucks of net profit. About $4k into it at any given time but could get all of it back if I had to sell.

- When I lived outside of CA and had access to do whatever the fuck you wanted gun ranges with national match 1000yd setups I really enjoyed it. I’ve never been an own and arsenal type though, max is 1or 2 handguns / rifles at a time. Once I GTFO of CA I’d like to do this again as well, even if it’s just Ruger 10/22’ish iron site plinking at 100-200 yards.

- I do like decent mechanical watches, like another poster said it’s not really a hobby, but I’m fairly versed on most movements and camera gear buy used / sometimes profit when I sell.

You have the idea. Here’s a rough estimate. This wiill go down significantly next year now that I’m not new to the sport

New carbon bike: 2.5k

Indoor smart trainer: 800

New wheel set: 1k

Upgraded other parts (saddle, pedals, new shoes): 500

Bib shorts, jerseys, entry fees for sportives, energy gels, etc make up the rest

Wine, although I don't go too crazy.

Drinking is usually my biggest non-essential budget item every month. If you include things that drinking naturally brings on (strip clubs, late night food, etc.) then it's easily drinking.

most of my hobbies just have a big one-time expense, then its not so bad.

- guitars - I have like 5 electrics, cost several thousand dollars, love playing every day

- golf - bought some taylor made irons as an expense, but rarely play expensive courses, usually just cheap public ones

- skeet - bought a $1500 shotgun (nice skeet shotguns cost several times that) and a skeet/sporting clays club membership, other than that its like $10 a round for the clays and ammo. Not bad

- pistol shooting - self explanatory - not cheap

- running - cheap (although some injuries might cost me some dough soon)
