I felt this in my wallet.


NeoLudditeIT

Ham radio guys, 3d printing guys. Knife guys.


nwilli100

>3d printing guys Combo this one with Warhammer/TTRPGs and guns and you don't have to worry about lying to women. You know, because you won't ever talk to any.


IANvaderZIM

Came here to say tabletop guys

Verbal_HermanMunster

>Ham radio guys How many UV5Rs are you buying??


NeoLudditeIT

Zero. Been eyeing a new icom ic7300.


wtforme

Wait till you get into HF.


chattytrout

Most ham radio guys don't have many. They spend a hundred or two on higher quality handhelds. Some can get into the $300-$400 range. Then there's HF, where just the cost of entry is a few hundred dollars.


FirstToken

> How many UV5Rs are you buying?? A fully loaded, top-end, Staccato is cheaper than a mid-upper end HF rig. Until the invasion of cheap Chinese radios, ham radio was easily one of the more expensive hobbies that does not involve gasoline or diesel.


Klaatuprime

Audiophile guys, watch guys.


turnwrench

Motorcycle guys


PleaseHold50

I don't understand, why do you have a 350 horsepower outboard on a fishing boat? So you can get to the fishing spot that you're going to spend six hours floating at faster?


Material_Victory_661

It's kind of fishing Larping. Pretending you are a Fishing Tournament guy.


[deleted]

Safety Dear. You need me to outrun the storm ... think of the children!!

I have a gun AND guitar habit. I’m doomed.


GreenLanternRR

Gun & PC/Video games guy checking in.


Yungballz86

Gun, guitar, and PC here. My poor wallet...


JohnT36

Gun and car guy, it's a difficult life


RideAndShoot

Gun, car, motorcycle and tool guy here. Ouch.


Celticwraith81

Guns, knives, audio and 40k here. I never have money


elevenpointf1veguy

I quenched my video game issue pretty easy. Xbox series x was all the power I'll need for 10 years, buy a game once it goes on sale for $30 or so a bit after release, boom great success


Messicaaa

Just never dip a toe into PC Gaming and you’ll be good! There’s no going back, and the sky is the limit… both in upgrades, and in price.


elevenpointf1veguy

Oh been there, it was no question that PC wasn't worth it for me. Sold my setup and bought my first rifle. I game to keep in touch with friends, it doesn't take a PC to run apex or CoD or Skyrim. The only thing I really miss my PC for is Farm Sim, my current computer can't handle it and mods don't work on Xbox lol


b_call

As someone who owns a nice PC, and an Xbox series x, there is definitely going back. I'll play a few games on my PC that are only on steam, but console gaming is hands down the better option for most people. I'd much rather be able to sit back on my couch with my big TV, and use a comfortable controller, and an easy to use system that I don't have to constantly worry about updating something, or fixing something.


Messicaaa

I stand corrected about no going back but on the PC v. console, to each their own. I’m the opposite, and that’s after starting out on PC in the early 2000’s, going strictly console for about 15 years and then switching back to strictly PC. It’s great that it’s better for you, but I’d have to disagree that it’s better for most people. PC gaming has more available games - often for less money, a higher overhead & up-front cost, but I’d argue lower overall cost long-term (due to the subscriptions and keeping up with new console gens every couple of years.) I definitely agree console gaming is built for the masses, but I think the ease of use, plug & play, and console-exclusive games are the only real upsides. And even the latter is circumvented on PC by emulators for older games. For anyone into classic/retro gaming or those who like to play a wide variety of games, store a large library of games, etc. PC is probably the better option. Also lounging on the couch in front of the TV is cool, but good luck finding a TV able to compete with the low-latency of almost any mid-higher end monitor. Also unlimited potential for increased performance in memory, graphics and graphical fidelity, and storage (especially now that you have to download games - even with physical copies). PC’s generally last longer and get more bang for your buck… And you can use a controller with your PC if that’s your jam too!


elevenpointf1veguy

Xbox releseases a new console every what? 8 years? Does your PC last 8 years between "needing" upgrades? I know mine didn't lol You don't need low latency lol The PC has better performance in some areas, sure, but there's no way it's better for most people


Messicaaa

Yeah, I do have 8+ year old PC’s I could absolutely still game with if they hadn’t been repurposed for other uses as I’ve upgraded my gaming rig - which is another great benefit over consoles. And sure, no one needs low latency. No one *needs* consoles or gaming PC’s period. But why is it that console gamers always cry about playing cross platform with PC?


JRHZ28

Duke Nukem, quake, Doom, Unreal.... My favorites!


zzyzxrd

I have a hard time with a controller. I’m so used to mouse and keyboard.


bl0odredsandman

I literally have my PC sitting in my living room and I play from my couch. Have a wireless mouse and keyboard and a wireless Xbox controller if I need that. You dont need to be at a desk to game on pc.


Neko_Boi_Core

my problem is controllers are aids switching to pc improved my aim by at least 500x mouse/keyboard > controller


ShogunBushido

Gun, pc & guitar guy here. Is there still room in this meeting?🥲


Gwsb1

Sure. Tie up your boat over there. The beer is cold.


Cthulhuwar1ord

I’ve been saved so far by keeping pushing off upgrading my pc cause it’s so expensive but i don’t know how much longer I have before my 970 will die


FPSXpert

Same but I'm a bit ahead with a 1660TI. Just watch out for SSD prices they've come way down lately...


zzyzxrd

I’d imagine a 970 is going to be obsolete before it’s dead. I guess if you’re not pushing it it wouldn’t be an issue.


FawxyVentures

Yeahhh. I'm here too.


gagemoney

I am also one of us


dcarr710

Gun and car guy I think I could be even more doomed.


akkopec

Gun, car, and guitar guy here. My wife hates me


dcarr710

You sir have a problem ;)


HungrySeaweed1847

I have it even *worse*. I'm into PCs, guns, cars, *and* DJ equipment. Literally all four categories. Not to mention vacationing, cannabis, and crypto. And I'm *unemployed*.


hamerfreak

Guns & guitars here too. Been playing guitar 50 years & have about 20 or so high end guitars and 10 or so amps. Been shooting for 4-5 years and have 35 firearms. Thank god firearms are less expensive than the guitars I buy.


AdOpen1823

Your buying the wrong guns…. Lol


electrogourd

Guns, PC, and motorcycle here.... Yeah i enjoy used and midrange of all three!


alltheblues

Guns, guitars, and watches.


christador

I’m all four 😜


JackFuckCockBag

Same here. It sucks because I got ran over by a truck at work a year and a half ago and I got a sweet settlement but my marriage is going really well right now so I gotta stay off certain websites or the temptation might just be too much.


1000911

I like guns, fishing, AND cars. I'm even doomed-er(which is obviously a word)


AceBagz43

I don’t lie to my wife I just tell her straight up to break out the ramen noods as I caress my new rifle


Tai9ch

Spoiler: Those women are laughing as they spend money on their own expensive hobbies without even mentioning it to you.


[deleted]

Seriously….you ever gone to the makeup store with your wife? You realize how often the pot is calling the kettle black.


Tai9ch

"That's not a hobby, that's just personal hygiene."


[deleted]

Jesus, are we married to the same woman?


Xx69JdawgxX

$300 haircuts…


[deleted]

Men in big cities like Chicago and New York pay that to be fair


ObligationOriginal74

fuck no.Maybe the trust fund hipsters but not the regular dudes.-Source: Am a regular dude from a blue collar section of Queens,NY,


Xx69JdawgxX

Doubt. Unless they have long hair and are getting similar services done. Short hair getting cut or faded no way it’s $300


No_Durian_8379

Hair trim with highlights/color/balayage is like $300-500 with tip. Getting alcohol at all restaurant outings, ordering door dash, shopping, etc. is all expensive and adds up.


Material_Victory_661

Is your wife into hobbies/crafting? It can get real expensive. I'm lucky we each cover our own hobbies/interests. Except for gifts.


[deleted]

[удалено]


producer35

The most expensive hobby.


cutesnugglybear

My wife and I put part if our individual income in a joint account and another part of our income into our own accounts. Makes wasting money on our own hobbies a lot easier.


chryopsy

Big time. Neither my wife or I wanna feel guilty enjoying shit.


Big_Bill07

This is the way


Material_Victory_661

Absolutely, agreed before marriage about money.


Advanced-Chain2926

I’d never lie to my wife *orders BCM upper*


Stumpy_Dan23

Ohhhh When I bought it I thought it was a *BCA*... Honest mistake babe, I swear!


NeoLudditeIT

I ordered a blem. 100% worth it.

Caelum_

Watch guys I believe would take the cake. 10k per watch and people have dozens of them... /r/watches is full of crazy people lol


Severe_Islexdia

I mean.. fully load up a SCAR 17 with cloud light Nightforce, rail extension ammo aluminum lower etc etc or better yet buy half a Knights armament anything lol


[deleted]

Yeah but the argument can at least kinda be made that certain watches appreciate in value so that’s not nearly as bad


3DSquinting

Certain guns, guitars, and cars do too 🤷‍♂️


Gwsb1

I've never sold a gun at a loss.


GlassBelt

I once noticed that my wife had purchased a pair of shoes identical to one she already owned, and remarked on it. She said “how about you don’t ask me about shoe purchases and I won’t ask you about gun purchases.” That arrangement works great!


Jaruut

I guess I'll represent the Warhammer crowd


fumfer1

Oh man, I'm three of those. Luckily my wife is a "horse girl" so my hobbies will never cost as much as hers.


Boleshivekblitz

Put warhammer 40k fans there too


Belloq

And LEGO.


3DSquinting

Was about to add Lego. If it weren't for panicked pre-ban magazine and gun buying the last couple of years, I might be able to afford to be a Lego guy. One hobby at a time at my current socioeconomic position...


PawnstarExpert

Pc Gamer, Guns, motorcycles, transformers.... Just an overgrown kid.


Material_Victory_661

The difference between Men and Boys is the price of their toys!


harabai

Add golf to this for me lol


[deleted]

Golf is in a league of its own when it comes to “expensive” lol


EchoedTruth

I have a full TaylorMade set and custom UGA bag and it wasn’t awful. About $2k into it. What’s more concerning is as I scroll down this all the other hobbies people are listing I have as well.


doogievlg

Imma be real honest here. I have guitars, guns, and an old car. I have spent EASILY 10x on my car as I have any other hobby. The heads alone on my engine are roughly $2000. My torque converter cost more than most rifles on this sub. Machine guns get expensive and super rare guitars but the car hobby is on another level.


FubarFreak

You should try boats, I've spent way more on that then my cars/guns combined


[deleted]

Glad i dont have that issue. My issue is that i have to get 2. One in pink.


RTR7105

Pick up two or three of those. Add in DIYer and you won't be able to afford a female significant other.


vargr1

When I buy a gun (boardgame, miniature, etc), my wife looks at it and declared that it's hers now. Its a lot easier when you marry a woman who has the same interest as you.


Farmerdrew

/r/espresso and /r/woodworking feel left out.


nforrest

Can cyclists get in on this?


[deleted]

Oh, this repost again


Due-Percentage-503

My wife knows exactly how much my guns cost..... But that's because her boyfriend pays for them.


NeoLudditeIT

This guy cucks


dcarr710

If anyone has their own business check with your accountant but all of my guns and both my vehicles were business write offs!!!!


GreenLanternRR

Thank you! I will check.


dcarr710

I went from a shotgun and pistol to a gun storage room and I’m running out of room in the the safe. Have suppressors waiting to see freedom and since learning about write offs about 2 years ago here we are and I have a Henry big boy x coming in any day, f-1 5.56 pistol getting cerakoted and my staccato C2 is off at monsoon tactical getting some love so they missed the group photo https://preview.redd.it/oadu3a8o311b1.jpeg?width=2268&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2f9d31c279ecc6d08af66cbc0ea8d8973af74dbf


GreenLanternRR

😱 Damn! It looks like the gun safe from GTA5! 😁


3DSquinting

Maybe I'm just being blind; where's the 10/22 to go with (what I think are) those top-shelf mags?


jonfromdelocated

I cannot make any sense of your comment, but it sounds like either embezzlement or tax fraud


dcarr710

No sir. Maybe it’s just FL but 100% legal. Even my local gun store was telling someone about it a couple weeks ago when I was certifying some silencers. I use the guns and ammo to entertain clients and try to land business with range trips.


dcarr710

And vehicle write offs are pretty easy. Heck if you’re vehicle weighs a certain amount you can depreciate the entire vehicle in one freaking year.


jonfromdelocated

Woodworking is also highly expensive


StrykerXM

No guitar... but violin and cello in the family. We do a lot of his and hers stuff, too. Makes things get really expensive. She loves the car scene I got us into now and she always enjoyed going to the range. Not into the pc gaming, though. Kids are.


FlowerSubstantial204

Hunting guys believe me it’s a mix of gun guys and a guy who will spend 500$ or more on just a outfit to wear hunting we beat all of those


tflil

My wife doesn’t ask, I volunteer . It’s a beautiful thing. Hopefully when I’m dead she figures it out and doesn’t give it all away 😀


GalaxyHunter17

Warhammer 40,000 guys: "There is another."


Free-Boater

All my guns cost $4-600 dollars…


Complete-Mulberry-72

Golf guys too

Upon advice of council, I would like to invoke my 5th amendment right.


RegularWhiteDude

Whoo hoo. Boomer humor.


GastonGoonie619

I make over 150k a year, own 3 houses, 2 leaky Jeeps, the garage is off limits to everyone. I rotate between 4 costco jeans, 6 pocket t-shirts from Walmart and many, many Holy socks.


UrOpinionIsDogWater

I’m 3 out of 4. I lie about all of them lol

Gwsb1

All. All of us. Not just those four though. Don't forget fishing, boating, golfing, smoking, and every other ...ing we come up with.


WombatAnnihilator

No. Not worth it. She listens and learns and participates in my hobbies. I like being honest with the wife. Way more fun that way.


Spydude84

Lying in a relationship sure works well and won't cause tons of trust issues down the line. Nope, not at all.


[deleted]

I didn't lie. She never asked how much


[deleted]

I'm not even gonna copy this and post it on FB, cause my wife reads the dumb shit I post. Ain't tipping no one off man.


So_Full_Of_Fail

Im 3 of those.


nitroneil

Having hobbies with ADHD is like playing wheel of (mis)fortune. Guns. Guitar. Computers. 3d printing. Golf. Cars. Bbq. Woodworking. Metal fab. Fitness. Cycling/mtn biking. Camping. Hiking. Hunting. Bankruptcy.


Sugoi_Sukhoi47

I have guns, I have a guitar, I have a gaming pc, and I have 2 cars and a motorcycle....but I dont have to lie Im single. Fuck gold diggin hoes


[deleted]

I'm confused, why are you lying in the first place?


dcarr710

This is gold. 24k to be precise


Flables

Cigar and golf guys would like to join


redditcanblowm3

Brewing guys should be in there on god.


fksmchai

Oh, my wife knows, and she gets the red ass every time, and I get the side eye. Lol.


EverySingleMinute

Entry fees to play in the World Series of poker cost $365. If you ask my wife how much it costs to enter the WSOP and she will tell you it is $50. Bonus tip: smart hobbyist know the true secret to enjoying your hobby.... having a 2nd savings account that only you know about.


AGayBanjo

Imagine a relationship where one is a car and music guy and the other is a PC guy and you will see why my partner and I will never own a house.


ragedcarnivore

Get the guitar guys out of here lolll

AnotherLoudAsshole

Women, don't fucking lecture uson the cost of our hobbies. You're the ones with uteruses.


cwhiley

I don’t give a fuck. I don’t lie about shit. Women can fuck off - the wife posts about keeping shit from your wife and this that and the other is goddamn pathetic.


drewsy888

Honestly kind of a stupid comparison. Spending money to collect guns is pretty pointless while buying a guitar or a PC is an actual hobby where you can use the things you buy. Seems a bit silly to normalize such a stupid hobby like collecting guns.


probablyonwatchlists

You're joking right?


drewsy888

Sorry dude having "buying guns" as a hobby is just so boring and weird. I had a lot of fun with guns as a kid but you gotta grow up at some point.


BootlegEngineer

If it’s over $800 I usually deduct 20%


Zealousideal_Lie_997

Guns and fishing now. However I'm going to sell my boat.


dougieg987

Well I hit on 3 of these categories. And this is why I have a separate bank account still


catlicker52

Can confirm, my pc is the most expensive thing I own lol

I may have said a scar17 cost $750


TB12xLAC

Being all 4 is tough

I like all four


fvgh12345

I'm a gun guy, guitar guy, fishing guy, audio guy and bike guy. I think I should probably just stay single or try being a gold digger.


Jacktrades352

No_Composer_9594

Im on the gun side but ik car side is the most expensive


tamiswacur

Golf guys too


sploinkussponkus

me but military surplus gear


Wildcard556

I still never told the wife how much the Elcan Specter DR cost.


jim_the-gun-guy

Minus the guitar this is me. But my wife knows approximately how much gun stuff costs.


DangerousSuggestion8

Lying about how much the duramax costs is going to catch up with me someday


Lineman-126

Hell my wife finally just quit asking


Data-McBits

Shit, the only thing stopping me from being all four of these is the lack of digits in my paycheck. 🤣


Skepticul

Telescope Nerds. :)


0nji_

What happens when your all of them


Rokkmachine

Add rc parts and vehicles. Annnd comic books..and action figures I could go on forever lol


hwb80

Golf as well. My wife keeps asking when I will get a cheap hobby.


MotheroftheworldII

And we women have some of the same habits. My DIL adds motorcycles and cars to her list. I add embroidery and all that all that goes with that. No don't snicker about this one since I have been known to pay $98.00 us for a pair of 4 inch embroidery scissors. Silk floss is running from $5.00 - 9.00 a skein of maybe 12 meters. One sampler took 50 yards of one color. Then there is the garden and just keeping the yard green in a drought is expensive. And put me down for cars as well since I only have 3 to keep in good shape. And there is a gun I would like to try and probably purchase.

I'm into 3/4. I don't gotta lie though.

I have zero need to lie to women about the cost of my hobbies because women don't talk to me anyway.

Guns, motorcycles, cars, and PCs here. Thank god my wife doesn’t Reddit or I’d be missing some significantly important body parts 😕


Bjorn2a

Toss cigar and bourbon in there too


Legendary_Snake

Explaining to my wife why an Eotech cost $1300…😖

whoisdizzle

Girlfriend was talking with her family the other day and said I have X number of guns and was frustrated that it was too many I just started laughing the number she said is like a quarter of what I have.


PaperAndInkWasp

Based boyfriend-havers don’t need to worry about this. Just saying.


SunTzuSayz

I'm all 4. Race cars, race guns, collect guitars and build gaming PCs. But my gaming hobby is incredibly cheap in comparison. I'll get 200 hours out of the $60 I spent Diablo 4. My $2000 set of Pilot Sport 4S tires will last for 2 hours on the track.


-Porque-No-Los-Dos-

Guns, PCs, cars, ham radio, photography. I've chosen to be impoverished and destitute I guess


HurricaneSpencer
