Honestly, 500 bucks a year is not that much to spend on a hobby as long as you're enjoying yourself.

#expensivehobbyautism it gets us all at one point.
I got some 35mm film cause I was playing with the idea of film based astrophotography on my 3d printed telescope and wanted to test out a few different types of film.... And since the local places are charging $16+ per roll, was going to develop them myself.
Am I doing this right?
Yes, this checks out.
There is a hell of a lot of things I would have loved to turn into hobbies if weren't for the money
Well it's not like I can spend it on house,kids, vacation or anything else high ticket.
Relevant af... Been flirting with the idea of finally buying pro DJ gear after like 16 years of being a DJ. Have done a jillion weddings, and a healthy dose of misc functions from corporate shindigs, galas, house parties, bars, etc...
Have limped along so far by borrowing gear whenever I had a proper gig (plenty of friends in the scene) but now I have some fun money budget. The spicy pro gear is soooo stupidly expensive but about time I had real gear off my own. The cereal box bedroom toy deck only gets you so far.
I do some cross stitching and it hasn't been bad. Even using kits instead of doing custom ones. I've got like $120 CAD worth of large kits and, at the rate I'm going, they'll probably last me a decade or maybe my daughter will inherit some of them.
I'm well into year 2 of working on the current one.
