What is your "inexpensive" hobby that turned out to be expensive/ you gradually invested lots of money into? (sopuli.xyz)

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.

Not OP, but I generally do listen to most of my music via streaming these days but it sucks: it's not immersive, sound quality is garbage and I miss the ritual of examining the art and liner notes while listening. When you listen to an LP you're more invested in it because you paid for it and also because you're in proximity to the record being payed and you're physically interacting with it. you end up listening to the songs in the context and sequence that they're supposed to be listened to.

I know that a lot of this is intangible, but there is value in it
