Horses, recreational vehicles, motorhomes, boats, sports cars... I'll just settle with my watercolors. I will however splurge on Daniel Smith paints.

[–] Smoogs@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

Paint for whatever reason needs this sliding scale of ‘archival’ which I don’t understand why student grade has to exist. it should all be archival and to be affordable. I suppose it comes down to pigment and binder but you could probably mix your own to maybe make it affordable.gum Arabic can be as cheap as less than 20$ a bottle

This is why I turned to hardcore drugs. Much cheaper.

...Factorio counts as a drug, right?

Schedule 1. No inherent benefit whatsoever. Just time dilation.

Hey man, you got any of them combinators? I got a serious jones for some arithmetic combinators.

"All you need is a pair of running shoes!" And another. And another. And another. Ad infinitum $$$

"I got into barefoot running but mainly for the savings"

[–] blackn1ght@feddit.uk 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Take up running they said. It's free!*

[–] jboy@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Sweat-wicking shirts! Compression socks! Non-bouncing shades! UV-proof hats! Neck buffs! Trail shoes! Gaiters! Racing shoes, carbon-plated! Recovery flipflops! Base layers! Jackets, rain and windproof! Reflective gear! A smartwatch! Training plans! Runners' memoirs! Club membership! Race signup fees! Gels! Electrolyte mix! Protein bars!

And have you tried spirulina, it does wonders for recovery (so they say)

I mean, what else to spend spare money on besides the things I enjoy. Like other people spend thousands travel. I spend the same amount on a box of Warhammer. Jk. I can't afford Warhammer.

No! You're supposed to be miserable for your entire youth by saving and investing every penny you don't need to survive! That way you can afford all the medical bills and therapy you'll need when you're old and retired and have had a life devoid of joy!!

Sigma grindset!!!!

[–] atocci@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You have convinced me to buy a kayak. 👍

[–] PraiseTheSoup@lemm.ee 3 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

Fuck yeah, what kind are you getting?

[–] atocci@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I'm not sure yet, I've been researching what to buy since then and I found this guide. It sounds like a sit-on-top with a flat hull is good for beginners, and I have a preference towards nothing inflatable also.

If you have any recommendations though, let me know! I also need to get a roof mount for my car.

Mine is gardening. Cheap to start, gives you exercise, and ultimately pays you in food.

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (7 children)

Except if you plant flowers. Bulbs taste awful.

Am I the only person with financial self control?? (I hate joy)

[–] fossphi@lemm.ee 1 points 12 hours ago

Fellow people who grew up poor?

[–] Screamium@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

There's usually a point in hobbies where you can find a great price/enjoyment point. Until you want to go deeper down the rabbit hole

[–] SnokenKeekaGuard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Why go deeper when you can quit a hobby every 3 months. th-3134988934

Be sure to see if your local library or community center has hobby stuff to check out or cheap classes! YMMV depending on how well funded they are, but it’s becoming really common to have a 3D printer, specialty baking pans, tools, etc.

[–] DokPsy@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Bruh. 3d printing is a mildly expensive gateway hobby that funnels things into other hobbies

Turns out PC's are a cheap hobby.

[–] cRazi_man@lemm.ee 16 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Many hobbies are cheap if you choose wisely out of your possible interests; and then go with cheap, good enough options rather than getting swept up in online echo chambers (where nothing less than top tier is acceptable).
