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

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.

Got three road bikes:

my first one: Shimano Sora 3x, aluminum frame. Still in use for commutes and bad weather rides.
the good one. Shimano 105, Rim brakes, aluminum. It just works and it well balanced. I the long rides, it’s actually the best of those three, even if it’s not the fastest.
Aero road bike, eTap shifters, discs, carbon frame and rims. I’m always anxious I could brake something to the point I can’t really enjoy it.

I actually thought about getting a triathlon bike too, just know how much faster I could go on it. Then again, I never even participated in cycling events anyway.
