Edit: so it turns out that every hobby can be expensive if you do it long enough.

Also I love how you talk about your hobby as some addicts.

Mechanical keyboards

Mechanical keyboards. I have a collection of 5 totalling to way more than anybody would expect keyboards to cost.

3D printing.

Scale modeling -- you can pick up a cheap kit at a big box craft store with some paint and glue for $40. Before you know it, you're importing specialty kits from Japan, rigging up a spray booth in your basement for your airbrush, and taking trips to air museums to get reference photos of the zinc chromate primer for a cockpit interior.

Oh boy, I’m not the worst but I’m pretty bad when it comes to “rabbit holes”

Vinyl records and hifi audio, photography (especially film), mechanical keyboards, cigars, old german cars. I just recently got into music production and modular synthesis. Someone needs to stop me.
