Every man needs a hobby he can't afford. For me, I have multiple: * woodworking (always need more tools, things to build, techniques to try) * playing guitar (always more gear to buy and things to learn) * baking (more recipes to try, and equipment) The hard part, since hobbies is more about how you spend your free time, is not making the easy ones your hobby, like watching movies or spending hours on social media. At least for me.

This is why our house does not have a garage - I love woodworking and if I had a garage, it would probably end up with tools and wood costing more than the house did. Before significantly downsizing in the move to this state, I had been eyeing some guitar kits (like from Martin Guitars) to build my own. I wasn't sure if I wanted to get into luthiering. https://www.mi.edu/education/guitar-luthier-can-become-one/ https://www.mi.edu/education/guitar-luthier-can-become-one/ I have an older edition of this book: https://www.amazon.com/Making-Archtop-Guitar-Robert-Benedetto/dp/1574243551/ https://www.amazon.com/Making-Archtop-Guitar-Robert-Benedett... I love cooking, but I found that I disliked cooking for 1. Not long after my last relationship ended, I stopped baking and cooking anything other than basic food. I had more than 200 cookbooks. After the downsizing, I shrank my collection to about 10.
