I don’t like this “meme”. Hobbies are supposed to be fun, it’s fine to spend money on things you think are fun as long as that spending doesn’t interfere with survival. Just don’t spend all your money on something “someone” (ads, influencers,…) told you might be fun.
Mate. I bought a 300 euros synthesizer. “Because I though it might be fun.”
4 years later:
Worst part is, my real hobby is collecting hobbies. I have a synth wall (which I do use), a home cinema with a high end beamer which I use daily, an extensive collection of Magic The Gathering cards (which I never use anymore), a professional full frame micro photography set (never use anymore), a 3D printer and a laser cutter (which I use sometimes), a fully equipped wood working shed and because it’s so tiny I made a fold out work bench to work outside (use sometimes), I got my own set of tools at he metal workshop where I’m learning metal working including welding (of which most I never use and some use every time), I got a fully soldering kit to learn arduino and electronics in general (but I lack the motivation to start doing it), I have many technic Lego sets which are just taking up space, I got a vast collection of complicated board games which I never play because no one has the time or motivation to learn all the rules then to play for 10-20 hours, I have everything for gardening as I got rid of all the tiles in my tiny garden so I could grow my own veggies which turned up in the stomachs of snails and lice so I gave that up, I bought an e-reader and got 20.000 e-books but I never read, I got a vast collection of tea which I rarely drink, I got a well equipped kitchen because I don’t like cooking so I got stuff to make it simpler but I rarely use any of it, I got a large collection of spices in a self made rack which looks amazing but I usually cook the same recipes so I only use a few spices a lot, I collect cheap brand clothing like Aldi and Lidl because I think they are fun but I never wear them, I have a vast collection of festival and rave clothes but I never go to parties or festivals anymore, now I’m welding garden benches and table for my own garden but I never sit outside.
I love making things perfect for a hobby, I just rarely do the hobby. But saving up some money? Nope. Sigh. Jesus would be jealous at the massive holes in my hands.
I learned metal working and got myself a welding machine and riveter as part of my skoolie project (converting a used school bus into a motorhome). It’s a great skillset to have, in case I ever build a second skoolie – which would require me getting Alzheimer’s first.
Fuck you don’t put ideas in my head! The creator of strandbeest lives a poor life because he puts all his funds into them. I can’t afford living a poor life, I have too many hobbies for that!

Welcome to ADHD life… collecting hobbies is a good way of wording this aspect of it 🤣🤣
I’m in this video and I don’t like it.
You just described a friend of mine.
Saving money? What’s that?
Retirement is a pipe dream anyway
I’m already retired

Yeah so I want to build a camper van myself, but for that I need to buy a van which requires savings.
that’s sick as hell
Nice strandbeest, you could start a collection of those and race them.
