Basically any hobby has a habit of absorbing all your spare income, doesn’t it?
Singing can be surprisingly expensive. My fees for 1 year with two choirs is almost £350, plus extra for hiring/buying sheet music, transport to and from rehearsals and tours. Plus the dinner I have in town before rehearsal (it’s only itsu but it mounts up). Oh and a concert dress (hopefully I only need the one this year), that was £80.
It’s worth it though!
Kinda the other way around; but when I was 27 I got divorced and decided to go to uni to study radio production with a view to changing my career.
Three years later, I’d graduated with a 2:1 and almost £20k of student debt.
…and all I have to show for it is a podcast that I used to do, because I couldn’t find a job in radio.
dog sports and crochet/knitting. i spend about $200/month on agility lessons, plus entry fees. good yarn is not cheap.
Scuba diving. SO and me signed up for a course some two years ago out of curiosity. Now I’ve got about €7-8k worth of equipment lying around which, besides our 2-3 diving tours a year, I mostly use in our small swimming pool. I still enjoy the peace & quiet down there a lot though.
