These are mostly:
- bicycles, of which I have a cheap (€400) single speed one. Though this might get converted to carry things and whatnot for city living and I might get a better one for fun if I have the use for it. Looking at a nicer more practical bike for next year. Definitely want a cargo bike in the long run.
- cooking, though I keep the gear simple and affordable though I have made considerable upgrades and purchased basics that should last a lifetime, it’s more about making solid combinations of tasty and healthy.
- reading, mostly science fiction / heroic fantasy or nerd things like economics.
- I’m also a big cars, airplanes and trains and energy / power generation nerd, but that’s mostly about documentaires and books.
- I do sports like going to gym and yoga and some running, but same as cycling, not very gear oriented (a pair of running shoes I like, a couple pairs of tights and shirts and a rain jacket for running... a backpack with chucks, water and a towel for the gym...)
- I do however collect socks and have to admit enjoying shopping for clothes every once in a while.
- Board games. Board games are the best. And game books.
I guess that’s about it.

Same. Considering taking a job with less pay just so I can walk and play music all the time. We'll see.
Or... because I have pretty generous PTO in my current position, considering taking it all in one shot and doing a very long distance hike.
I think I posted this blog before but this guy is a huge inspiration to me.
@bitchpudding - I have a some figures too! They're not displayed right now. All in a box somewhere. I won't get rid of them though cause I like them. I haven't looked at prices in a while but all the Figma and S.H. Figuarts stuff got supper pricey. There will be a day I get "sort of" back into it but... acquiring cheaper stuff... like finding early 90s SPAWN (or any MacFarland stuff) action figures at flea markets. When I was a kid I had a bunch of NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS stuff... really wish I didn't get rid of it. Kind of want to build Gundams too... all on hold at present.
I have "sort of" taking up bowling this past year. I don't go enough to get better at a 'competitive' level. I do try my best when I go though. My friends and I went up from being below 100 to consistently being around 200!

This is how I operate too.
Yeah this.
TFW when you stopped drinking years ago... everyone thought you would save money...
OH HOW WRONG THEY WERE.
