Default other expensive hobbies?

its no secret, the RC hobby is an easy way to go broke. if you let yourself.

but its not the only way i am capable of ripping through multiple amazon gift cards after the holidays. or taking up too much space. or staying up way too late before realizing the sun is about to rise...

my other hobbies (read: ways to blow money on non-essential things)

collecting action figures
- star wars
- marvel legends
- transformers and GI Joes (not so much anymore)

building/buying custom lightsabers
HOT WHEELS!
comic books
modifying the dozens of 1:1 drift cars i have owned over the past decade.

all of these things constantly get in the way of each other and drive my wife insane. i don't blame her. its like some sort of disorder. i have been trying to sell about $400 worth of airsoft rifles to fund my current ascender build.

anyone else have numerous hobbies like this?

Outside of r/c crawlers/go fast rigs, I also have HO trains, I am in to rock polishing, I also have a nice Newtonian telescope that I need more accessories for, I build my own computers and also do woodworking. Now with the new home, I will be buying all sorts of outdoor power equipment to take care of the outdoors and clear tree lines lol

Records and toys to listen to them.

Was into my Honda race car pretty big, but I've always been a pretty cheap or frugal guy.

Cheap beer, too.

Guns and shooting.

Sim racing. And other video games.

Motorcycles

Less so ATVs, but it was a huge hobby in the past.

Playing goalie wasn't cheap either. But one my cheapest hobby for sure.

My tires are a lot cheaper, but it's crazy we get about the same life out of them. I usually get between 1,000-1,200 miles out of a set here.
