What is the single most expensive hobby you have?

Triathlon and marathons.

Hunting, boats, Bush flights, gas etc.

Specifically though, sheep hunting.

Guns and reloading by far. I'm to the point where I need to stop acquiring more and focus on shooting what I've got.

I’d say my guitars if you don’t count boating. Playing/collecting for my own enjoyment.

Boating is more of an extended summer vacation than a hobby.

Sadly, I've all but abandoned my most expensive hobby: a '69 Chevy shortbed fleetside pickup and a '72 GMC shortbed stepside pickup. Most likely they both will find new homes in the not-to-distant future.

Our kids, by far. I sometimes wonder how much more wealth I would have if not for the kids, but they bring so much more than monetary wealth to our lives. So most of the time they are worth it.

Second would be watches, I have too many to wear, watch-winders take care of the winding, I'm trying to "wind down" this hobby. That's not working yet though.

Third would be bass fishing. And fly fishing. And travel to do both.

I don't have expensive hobbies...I have a retired lifestyle. What was expensive was the 50 years working to get here.

Wife and kids are not hobbies, they are investments that provide no monetary return but significant life return.

Shooting is my most expensive hobby. Guitars could be my most expensive hobby, luckily my wife helps moderate that...

Do, Or do not. There is no try.

Model Railroad and RC vehicles. Those two run neck and neck for my most expensive. Ammo hoarding is a close third.

I was just reading a Powerline Blog’s list of his favorite books of the year, and started thinking.
If my time is worth something, then my most expensive hobby is reading.

Audiophile stereo equipment. It starts at ridiculous and goes to YGTBFSM.

"Age does not bring wisdom. Often it merely changes simple stupidity into arrogant conceit. It's only advantage, so far as I have been able to see, is that it spans change. A young person sees the world as a still picture, immutable. An old person has had his nose rubbed in changes and more changes and still more changes so many times that that he knows it is a moving picture, forever changing. He may not like it--probably doesn't; I don't--but he knows it's so, and knowing is the first step in coping with it."

You've got to be flipping stupid man?

RVing, but we use it for our vacations and such. Is it a hobby?

Boating is second even including part of the cost of the truck purchased to tow the 5th wheel. This is really a hobby as it's done strictly for fun.

Shooting and diving, in one order or another, depending on whether we’re counting travel expenses for the diving.

Tons of hobbies I enjoy but the most money tied up in one is my weekend fun car.
