What is your "inexpensive" hobby that turned out to be expensive/ you gradually invested lots of money into?

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.

Playing music. Started on a shitty hand-me-down acoustic guitar. Got a better guitar. Got an electric. Got a better amp. Got a couple of pedals. Got a better amp. Got like 6 more amps, some cabs, 5 more guitars, a huge pedalboard, a cello, a keyboard, an audio interface, attenuators, mics, etc etc.
You gotta understand... I need all this stuff. There are subtle differences that you've never noticed before but will probably hear once I do an a/b comparison for you, and I absolutely must get an AC15 next to round out the collection instead of buckling down and recording something.
My brother took it to another level. He made his own guitar, then 5 string violin twice (because of school project) and some other instruments.
Yeahhhhhh luthier-ing is a rabbit hole all its own... I am about to start on build 3, from a tree in my yard.
Voxes sound so good.
I just dropped $560 on an Arturia Minifreak to replace my Microkorg XL+ that has a busted tempo knob.
Those are synths. I'm a bassist. Gear is addictive, yo.
I spent a decade as a touring musician. My guitarist is still a tonechaser and has new shit every practice. New amps, New pedals, etc. He's constantly trading and saving for new crap
I'm so happy I run my PBass into an OCD clone voiced for bass into a Mesa 400 with 2x15 and I've never wanted more.
