Do you have any hobbies or items you buy that you feel are not good financial decisions, but still don't mind overspending on?

Portable audio gear. Games across a variety of consoles and handhelds. Anime figurines. Acoustic guitars. Lego. Books. Manga. Comics. Blu rays. Vinyl records, cds.. I'm basically a collector / hoarder of stuff. Always asked myself what would be the outcome if I had deployed the funds from my hobbies towards investing instead..

I make music on the side, when I feel like it. From the past 4 years or so I have spent around a thousand on audio plugins and virtual instruments, but not a single song has made me a single dollar yet xD I actually only have one song out in stores and I've held myself back for a long time in producing more songs because I have this need to make them sound perfect and worth publishing. However, I don't mind overspending on them because music composition is a skill I want to use for side-jobs in future to compose music for games or film, and I am more or less familiarising myself with the tools for now.

Had pretty much a lot of hobbies. 1. Was into swimming. Learnt my way through and became a lifeguard with ACTIVESG for 2years. 2. Was into RC drones as my colleague in the complex introduced me. Spent quite a lot but it's more cost saving than buying a ready made product like DJI. Self made, parts bought from aliexpress. 3. Was into guitar too. Took till grade 5 and stopped due to studies and didn't continue already. Currently my hobby which is also a stress reliever is my custom build PC bought using $820.

dancing! dance classes are not cheap, but i enjoy them :)
