It's more than I spend, but you're on a tech forum full of nerdy engineers -- gaming rigs and their upgrades, hot new phones and laptops, travel, collectibles, legos, shop tools and materials, music gear, sporting and camping gear, etc each burn through that kind of budget real quick.
And nobody would call out that kind of spend were it for one of those.
- tekla 2y agoYes I would, anyone spending this kind of money regularly is a rube. Most of the shit you mentioned are up front one time costs with a minimal maintenance requirement. Anyone who is paying several grand to upkeep this stuff is an idiot and deserves to be parted with their money.
- imp0cat 2y agoThe economy needs those people, though.

Are you kidding me? > gaming rigs and their upgrades Oh cool the newest NVDIA GPU is out, that'll be a $500-1500 cost! > collectibles, legos Yup - this hobby is all about upfront one-time costs > shop tools and materials, music gear Have you met anyone with a machine shop or who is into playing gigs? > sporting and camping gear lol..outdoors people love accumulating gear for each trip
- watwut 2y agoIf you are buying all those, then you are buying massively more then you even have a chance to use.
- snapcaster 2y agoWhat are you talking about? Someone can't play videogames and go camping?
- watwut 2y agoIt would me more of someone gaming a lot, traveling a lot, building legos a lot at the same time, crafting by weekends too, playing music to the extend they need to buy gear regularly, doing multiple sports on to of it all and also going camping. On itself, neither of these hobbies cost that much money yearly unless you consciously decided you want to spend a lot of money.
