What do you resell?
Mostly vintage electronics, (PC, cassette decks, VCRs, a laser disc player one time), cassette/Video tapes, I have about 1,000 NOS vacuum tubes I need to go through. I also like to sell car parts, but I don't go out of my way to look for them. I kind of just like fixing that kind of stuff as a hobby, but don't really want to be a hoarder. I also find other oddball stuff once in awhile like really rare books or collectibles like vintage toys. It's all usually stuff that is hard to find so the people buying it are really happy to find it.
This is why I turned to hardcore drugs. Much cheaper.
...Factorio counts as a drug, right?
"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"
Take up running they said. It's free!*
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!!!!
Never get into actual warhammer, only videogames.
Or go for the cheaper alternatives. Or just buy a 3D printer, so you can have beautiful, unpainted armies that'll never see any action, just like 70% of all GW models!
Mine is gardening. Cheap to start, gives you exercise, and ultimately pays you in food.
Except if you plant flowers. Bulbs taste awful.
Depends on the flower. Brassicas are generally edible and technically flowers.
Asparagus is just a fern. Idk what pineapple is but it looks fake.
Sunflowers are nice too

Am I the only person with financial self control?? (I hate joy)
Fellow people who grew up poor?
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
Why go deeper when you can quit a hobby every 3 months.

The boobs on that dude on the left.
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.
Bruh. 3d printing is a mildly expensive gateway hobby that funnels things into other hobbies

Turns out PC's are a cheap hobby.
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).
