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.

Electronics repair and projects

All I need is a soldering iron.... well of course it needs to be digital! I also need a DMM for troubleshooting, as well an ociliscope. Guess I should also pick up a bench power supply so I don't need to run everything through two leads of the DMM to find the amps. A couple years later Well this is a surface mount issue, I need a reflow heat gun.

Or go back to soldering iron unless it's BGA

"Well I'm already upgrading to a new reflow station, I can prob also upgrade the soldering iron."
