Sorry, that came off more critical than I meant it to be. There's nothing wrong with enjoying a hobby, and certainly there are many frivolous things wealthy people do that cost far more money than you and I will make in our combined lifetimes. Everyone exists within an economic strata, and perspective hard to come by without personal experience.

Saying that any hobby might cost thousands of dollars, or tens of thousands of dollars, is as absurd to someone living in poverty as thinking a banana might cost $10.
