Some hobbies can be really cheap. Just bought a bow and arrow set for $150 and an archery range nearby only costs $5 for the whole day.
Just found out there's a well-reviewed archery range 9 minutes away from me. Thank you for the suggestion, I'll definitely be checking it out!

Learning to sit still, in the quiet, and just being has been one of the biggest improvements to my mental health.
Of course, a bigger improvement to my mental health would be if we had an economy that worked for the people rather than for the rich...

I think concert tickets are expensive only if you listen to pop music. I recently went to a concert with line up of Cannibal Corpse, Mayhem and two more bands and the tickets were just $50.
Classical music is even a better deal. I was in the 2nd row to see Augustin Hadelich play Mozart and the tickets were less than $30. Lucky for me I’d rather see that than any pop music.

I spent $50 on boots at the REI garage sale and went hiking every weekend. YMMV

While it may sound ridiculous, I actually think there is some healthy outcomes of practicing minimalist lifestyles. Gives me a peace of mind and avoids having to spend so much time on 'managing my things'.
Although I don't know if I can go full on 100% minimalism... I do like to do things

Going to concerts is not a hobby. That's an entertainment expense.

One of the reasons I'm glad I live in the city. There're free concerts in the parks. Free movies, sometimes. I can bike or train to the beach. There're meetups for all sorts of interests. When I lived in the suburbs, it was a wasteland. At best you could drive somewhere interesting.

Chess seems unique in the sports/games world because randomness plays absolutely no role in the outcome. It is purely the other person's brain squashing your brain down into a beige stain.

I bought a used school bus as a hobby. Now I'm a school bus driver so technically I get paid for my hobby. Except that dealing with middle-schoolers is definitely not a hobby.

I'm introverted and frugal. I sit in my chair and vibrate through realities.

Seriously. Suburbs are a hell I refuse to return to and which I wouldn’t wish on anyone. They just suck the life out of everything and you don’t even get anything for it. Hell, the houses aren’t even that cheap so you really just get to spend a lot of money on hot garbage.
“Hey, wanna be isolated from all your friends while getting nothing in return except the blandest, cookie-cutter hellscape? Have I got the place for you! And fret not, it’ll still cost you a staggering amount of money for even a small, shitty place so you better be fuckin’ married if you want even a two-bedroom condo!”

I take my daughter out to lunch and I just don’t eat now. $18 for a bowl of spaghetti bolognese, I’ll just drink water while she eats thanks
I ain’t tryin’ to blame ya, just to be clear but:
- Bahn Mí is way cheaper and way more fun.
- Shawarma is usually pretty cheap and if it’s still $20 for a plate you best believe you’ll have a meal to share.
- The last tip could probably work for a whatever burrito place’s big burrito. They always got a really big one on the menu somewhere.
Italian food from a restaurant is such a ripoff. I can make a way better pasta with some ground beef or pork, store-bought sauce, and some random pasta, and I get the option to add other vegetables that they either don’t include or have in pathetically small amounts.

While I agree, there’s certainly a difference between learning to be comfortable with stillness and literally not being able to afford to do anything. I take time for stillness every day but the fact that I can’t do anything else without feeling guilt is the problem.
Also, as much as I know you are trying to be helpful, I’m really sick and tired of being told that I have to make all the sacrifices. Pretty soon the next sacrifice I’ma make is gunna be to Khorne.

Fair enough. It’s not for everyone. I’ve heard it described as, “Suffering, surrounded by great beauty.”

OTOH, if you can afford basic necessities, hobbies are just a rounding error on top of them.
Unless it’s motorsports. Then the necessities of life are the rounding error.
