High dollar hobbies?

Horses and racing horses. I swear this has to be one of the most expensive hobbies ever. A horse can range anywhere from free to $100,000,000. The one's I have bought cost between $1,000-3,000. I paid $150 a month per horse for board. Farrier cost was $60 every 6 weeks for every horse. Horse accesories will run one about $100 a year. I spent well over $5,000 on horse tack and it's constantly needing up grading. My old horse trailer cost $8,000 and the truck was the same. Annual vet work costs about $200 per horse but I have had emergency vet word that put me in debt $3,000. Training for horses is $500 a month and I have probably spent $2000 on training. Lessons are $20 an hour. Gas is expensive to trailor the horse to the show. Show costs average about $50 a horse. Show clothes cost about $100 a shirt, $150 for boots, $75 for jeans and a hat. Clinics cost on average for me another 200 dollars. Of course, I'm leaving a lot out. I couldn't afford to keep up on my hobby cause those damn things are just that expensive.

ah, well, sucks to be you I suppose!

 

Im over 12 in parts and machine work with my stroked 360 to 410 cubic inch six pack small block dodge. It will make 700 horses-500 natural 200 on the spray and im ready to put it together.

My current motor is still in the car and ive got it on ebay and also included a u tube vide in the auction.

Here is what a 440 horsepower solid cam small block dodge looks and sounds like.

I don't really have any expensive hobbies. I like music but don't spend alot of money on it, and I like reading but again have found a cheap way around that....

so as of right now I have no expensive hobbies because I like hiking and that shit is free

 

i play computer and console games. i love it. ill shoot any boy to shit who tells me i cant play cos im a girl.

i also enjoy shopping but im not addicted.. i try not to do it too often cos i do like spending, but then again doesnt everyone?? and at least im a quick shopper.. no lingering in shops or taking years to try stuff on. ima wham bam thankyou mam shopper

 

Smoking marijuana is a pretty expensive hobby. I gotta start growing it sometime.

 

well you know, to me, creating is a hobby, collecting is a con game.
so it really depends on what it is. i'm not sure i'd put consuming anything in either catigory, although if you're consuming something expensive and conspicuous to try and impress anyone, well that is certainly a con game, beyone whatever gratification you actualy get, if any, from doing so.

there ARE lots of things i like to do, many of which i can't afford all the tools and materials to always be able to do, so when you ask, high cost hobbies, that's what comes to my mind.

that's why i mentioned hernia gauge trains, which is mostly a hobby for machinists or people who do have pretty hefty cash flows or both.

it's closely related to 'gearhead' hobbies, except it's about building things that you can ride on that run on little very narrow gauge railroad tracks, instead of rubber tyres on pavement. google up livesteam if you wan't to know what i'm talking about and don't.

everything i do, beyond survival, is in a sense a 'hobby'. 'hobbys' are what i live for. creating and exploring, as i've mentioned many times, are what gratify, the act of doing them itself, as much or more as any 'product' of them, or what anyone else thinks of that product once it's been manifested.

expense for the sake of expense, is of course, again trying to impress someone, which again gratifys pretty much nothing, however much most of the familiar and domanant culture cons people into expecting it to.

but there are things, creating and exploring things, that do run up there in currency type cost. most especialy the tools to do anything. and sometimes materials and 'fiddly bits' as well.

the hobbys i most engauge in of course are those which try to keep the cost of materials and fiddly bits reasonably under control.

what i don't have to spend i don't spend and i don't have a whole lot with which to do so. so things like hernia gauge are a bit out of and beyond my reach. as would be doing anything with a piece of land as i neather have nor possess means to aquire one.

one thing i have been able to get ahold of and enjoy as a hobby is 3d design and illustration. one of our good friends back when we were getting married got us the then current version of autocad, the big proffessional drafting program, r14.0, at the time. recently i came upon something called blender and i've been learning that.
(blender is available FREE, but man does it have a 'learning curve', even with my experience with autocad, another big learning curve to that one, photography and model railroading)

so while everything i do is my hobby, expensive ones, those which are things that interest me but are spendy, are just plane beyond the pale of my life at this point in it.
(other then to 'arm chair' and 'dream' about, something i do, perhapse all too much of)
