Yeah, good point. I mean, I think I'll be pretty shocked with how much I spend on frivolous stuff once I add up all of the equipment and such I have laying around for projects/hobbies I never saw through to completion. Hell, I have basically a home studio setup and kinda lost steam on it.... and then kept all of my studio monitors in a glorified PC media setup. Woops. I research a lot and buy well but then I lose steam and get bored and don't sell anything. I can literally talk your ear off about almost anything since I've probably dabbled in it. I just don't do a good job at fully exiting a hobby. I think that's my next step.  I'm going to free up some funds by reducing my island of misfit hobbies and go from there. Thanks for the pointers, gents. Appreciate you guys.

I have a lot of hobbies too. Winding down on my largest one and realizing just how much stuff I have for it is ridiculous.  My hobby “paid back” with the good fortune of doing very well and being a go to guy; but time is something you can’t ever be paid back. I think the hobby ended up owning me; curious to see if I will truly miss it as much as I think I might.

Being "that guy" is rewarding but draining. I often think about the debacle years ago where you mentioned people chipping in for garage supplies when you lend them a hand and they use your stuff and continue to agree with it.
