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.

Just make a friend who is very into 3d printing and you can null out their costs of buying models! There are also makerspaces in some cities that have publicly accessible 3d printers (and other cool stuff like sticker machines, cnc machines, etc) and even some libraries have 3d printers available that you can access

So the cost is split between two hobbies, that sounds like a well balanced budget to me
