Do you enjoy any kind of drawing or painting? You can usually find some weekly drop-in sessions with models. At least it can fill up one of your nights

Wow great response. I am/was considering taking extra on-call time for my job. I still really wonna turn investing into my hobby. I just need to find enough activities that'll keep me busy day to day. I dunno, where to start, I need to talk with someone else who does it as a hobby. I could easily read financial forums all day long, however this forum doesnt move fast enough for that. And others i've found, are too formal. IE you do it this guy's way or you're gonna go into financial ruin!

start a blog here, the color changing option should keep a non design geek busy for hours

I'm almost just like you except I'm not addicted to video games although I enjoy playing games when i'm with friends.

I took up photography this year and spent a large amount of money over the past 10 months. I bought new things to try as I became more proficient and I am now at the point where I do photo shoots at events and I am slowly paying off my equipment.

I wanted to take up investing as a hobby as well but I found it hard to stay focused with no support where as with photography there are alot of active forums and I have a few personal friends who are also into the hobby. Every once in awhile we get together to discuss recent photos and compare and share what we've captured. This is a pretty rewarding hobby when you get that perfect shot.

Good Luck and feel free to PM me if you'd like to chat more.

Go to the gym and get yourself in shape before 30 comes and your metabolism goes to sh*t. My company has a gym that is practicalyl vacant after 6:30 at night. 2 hours there and I dont have time to game anymore.

Start blogging. Make a webpage, create a business with that.

Your problem is not gaming, you problem is that you didn't find an aim in life. Your finances look good, you just need an aim.

Create a business of some kind. Start looking for financial freedom?

Maybe their is an artist lurking within.
Why not take up painting, paper mache, sculpting, or some other art?
You may discover talent you never knew you had!
Another great hobby is refinishing furniture.
I don't know about all areas of the country, but in my area I have seen a lot of good solid wood furniture for free or at a low cost on Craigs List or Freecycle....furniture just waiting for a new look.

I was once in that same boat. I turned my hobbies into money making adventures. I say you find something that you really like to do and turn into a little side business. Who knows.. it could turn full-time!
