Oooh fun thread, BEG
When i think about it i have a lot of expensive hobbies too - good thing i have no mortgage and so disposable income!
Skiing for sure is a big one, i snowboard myself and its a very expensive undertaking. Im lucky though i live in the mountains and work in the industry so i get my pass for free, but the gear, oh it kills me - i need new boots and a new board at the moment, not to mention id love to get setup with touring gear but thats even more pricey
I also LOVE scuba diving too, and to do it i have to travel - travel BTW is my number 1 fave thing, i have spent a literal fortune on it over the last 5-6 years. Which i suppose is why no mortgage yet! My SO and i will dive wherever we can, we were in central america last year so dived a lot, id guess we spent at least 3k on diving. We rent our gear though (on account of the expense of buying it and the difficulty traveling with it). Sadly this year i dont think we'll get any diving in (going to alaska), and next year we're getting married in europe so im not sure what our chances are of diving next year either.
Also this year i took up piano and i love it! my keyboard was cheap but my lessons are nearly 30 bucks a week...which really adds up over a year. That said i feel like i get a lot of enjoyment out of it (just learnt beauty and the beast - so happy!).
Apart from these i have a gym membership and do yoga once a week, but i mostly run outside and hike in the summer which are cheap at least!
Oh and i recently developed a shameful problem with Hermes scarves. No really its shameful....but i love them
