I am just curious if I am an outlier.
My main hobby has been telescopes and astronomy for many years.
I would make my own telescopes for years. Telescopes and mounts and eyepieces can add up .... maybe $10K total for high end stuff.
I would like to get a high end refractor telescope which is >$5K by itself.
However, I always back off since I am retired and am guilty/apprehensive about
spending that much on a hobby.
I am not rich but comfortable. Our nest egg is about $1.5M.
I was wondering if others splurge on their hobbies or feel frugal (cheap) like me?
What is your expensive hobby?
