A thread here without disneysteve's post in it? LOL! where are you Steve, Sweeps?

My hobbies are cars/racing/engines/DIY/fabrication/tools/motorcycle is the latest one - yes I'm a geek!

I also love the idea of hobby farming, camping, traveling but I haven't been able to do much of these or at all in some cases. I mean camping sounds great but I'm overprotective of my family and my 4yo so no way in heck I'm sleeping with the mountain lions and bears out there. Traveling, just don't have the time and hobby farming it's just a pipe dream at this point for us city slickers.

I somehow missed this one til it was brought back. I love to hunt, fish and garden which leads to cooking which I love as well. I also breed and raise labrador retrievers.

ah, it's nice to see old threads brought back from the dead... okay, I'll play.

Hobbies for me are photography, reading, running, and when I get the chance (not always very often), SCUBA diving and snowboarding. Soon, I'll be getting back into playing the piano, which I'm looking forward to alot.

It's kind of odd. I've looked at other posts here and realize I do some of this stuff but don't really view it as a hobby even though I do them quite a bit.

Vegetable gardens are a great way of saving money on your food expenses. I have an extensive garden (a small farm really) on my 1/4 acre every year and not only do I not have to purchase most vegetables, I make a profit on the local farmer's market with surplus harvest after feeding myself and family and friends.

You can find all sorts of economical ways to cut your required investment as well. I buy raw steer manure in bulk from a dairy farm near my home and compost it en masse with my kitchen and yard waste and accelerate the process with worms. In this way I pay very little to augment my soil each year. My biggest costs are associated with maintenence of my tiller and purchase of fertilizers and other plant supplements.

Cool

I'm very fond of music, literature, ball games and board games... I don't think it would cost any unless your game's at stake...

Working out, skiing with my family, raising kids.... sounds like a boring life, but I swear it is exciting!

My hobby is creating business online so i guess thats money related but its still my hobby. I do want to pick up something like golf to get me out of those house, but i hear it can be a bit of a pricey hobby.

Gonna buy one of those for dummies books on golf soon then do some practice at a driving range near me.

I guess I never jumped in. Kind of jumping back into many hobbies as not a lot of time in recent years.

Playing piano/music
Reading/learning
Crossword Puzzles/Sudoku
Outdoors - hiking, boogie boarding, camping, bike riding
Video games/board games/cards
Bowling

I'm lucky to have found a cheap hobby like baseball and football simulation games. I started playing these games about 12 years ago and they never get old. However I must admit that they have lost some of their luster the last 3-4 years(around the same time I got interested in finances) which is a good thing because I was an addict. Those games were like crack to me.

It is cheap because I can play the same game for years only getting the yearly roster updates. The last year I spent less than $100 for my gaming. Lots of bang for the buck right there let me tell ya.

I am an avid traveler! I love reading up on new places to visit and see. I also really love going to concerts. I try and change it up all the time...different genres of music...gives you a better opportunity to witness all kinds of awesome artistry. I also love to cook and bake...are there any other bakers out there??
