You guys have stable hobbies..?
If you count "starting new hobbies" as a hobby, then I could get like 4-5 hobbies out of it, around 200-250$ is a reasonable buy-in for a new one. -

Had to do a quick conversion search to make sure roughly how much that would be, and I could have a day like the fairly recent day I bought a pawn shop acoustic guitar, pack of picks, and a guitar stand maybe around 10 times.
I could also, probably, head over to a CD shop I really like and buy probably close to 100 CDs ( probably much less than 90 because tax, but that's still a lot ).
I could go to an electronics shop and get their opinion and help on upgrading my desktop motherboard, alongside upgrading to a used, few years older ( probably 2020-21 because I don't do much that would kill it ) model graphics card if I could find a good one somewhere like eBay.
I could try to collect a physical copy of every single non-arcade, launched in America Sonic game on console. Console not included for some of them because they're too expensive or I don't care about them for the case of anything past xbox360 or ps3. Though, I imagine the Master System titles would be pretty expensive, so IDK how that would go.
Either that, or I would love to cheap out and just pay some people who are willing to do a copyright infringement by making some Tails plushies based on his SatAM/Adventures cartoon design/personality. Would probably be a lot cheaper and just as cool. Fulfills my hobby of having a ton of plushies/stuffed animals and be Sonic related, so bonus points to me.
I could wait for the next Steam sale and get tons of games to add to my backlog but never actually get around to. Even with my somewhat picky nature, I'm fairly certain I'd find tons of games to purchase.
I could probably get even better headphones than my already pretty good quality beats to really up my music listening. Pair that with a pretty good audio playback device and I'd be in heaven... or accidentally make myself deaf and wanna die.
I could get the remaining manga from the Bakuman series I like and, depending on price and volumes, probably get the remainders of Soul Eater ( I think I've only got maybe volumes 1-2 ).
I could buy a metric ton of snacks and foods from a nearby import store and an Asian market.
Hell, I could probably take a couple lessons for that guitar I bought so that way I can learn the proper way to play.
Edit:
I could also expand my dice collection and playing card collection. I would love to have a ton of decks of cards. Especially some ones where the cards are different shapes, like these little leaf shaped cards I currently own.

A surprising amount as prices have dropped considerably in the past few years. (3d printing)

A compound bow is a bit more expensive but not that much, and I also break a lot of arrows because of the kind of target we shoot at. In Dutch it's called a "wip", I don't know what it is called in English. If you hit the metal part or the mast, your arrows tend to break quite easily.
Oh ye, makes sense. I shoot at a foam target we hung between 2 trees because we dont like the things you shoot at, but i imagine arrows die quickly haha.
Even we destroy each other's arrows once in a while haha -

Depending on how much people think they're worth, I could probably overhaul and mod 6 iPods.
My other hobby is my little radio show. €1000 would set me up with a nice new controller/mixer, a half decent new second display, and a bunch of sound proofing for my studio. And that would be nice. I'm happy enough with my mic and headphones that I already have.

Not much. My main interest is digital privacy. Perhaps 10 years of service with Proton.
Do you really have no hobby? What do you do in your free time?

Yes, but we've been having a few hot days around here and temperatures over 30°C really degrade the effectiveness of the medication. I bought a sewing machine on Saturday.

All the Japanese language resources for a lifetime you need and then some more for lessons if you want.
- Wanikani and Bunpro might be about 300€ together for a lifetime.
- A few grammar books with extra exercises, like Genki, would be less than 200€ I think.
- Writing supplies, a computer, Internet access etc is assumed.
- 500€ Could likely get private tutoring for quite a few lessons I think. You may also want to look at courses by the nearby university or language school, or get additional support resources.
Japanese learning resources are really amazing nowadays. Tons of good free content too, like articles on grammar or YouTube Videos by people explaining stuff. If you cut Wanikani and Bunpro and go with Anki (FOSS) instead for SRS, you can go really cheap.
That is, the price you pay for learning the Japanese language is also that it takes a fuck ton of time to get anywhere. But then again, you understand Japanese after that, how cool is that??

I would probably buy a really nice Pechauer pool cue. Or another premium brand as quality equipment is pretty important for pool players.

Can you tell me more about data hoarding? Do you just like download shit off the net and archive it all?
Sometimes, things don't always stay around on the internet, so if there's something I'll want to watch or listen to again, I keep it local. Or if there is something that should be preserved, like the data dump of patriotfront that is continually seeding.
It relates to my hobbies, too - all of my photos are stored in raw plus my edits. I am also converting all of the VHS tapes my dad recorded of the family over the years and I serve them up to my family on my media server, along with the videos of different things of my kids, like dance recitals.
More recently we've seen the intentional removal of information on the internet specifically with the US government, so where possible I've backed some of that up as well and contributed it to appropriate groups.
Then of course there's music, movies, tv shows, documentaries, books, comics, and so on, even fan created edits of shows and movies like despecialized edition and 4k77, Harry Potter and the deathly weapons, hackers the 56k upgrade, etc.
Its not meant to just hide on a drive, so its all served up with various services I run, such as jellyfin, audiobookshelf, kavita, etc.

Ha, good guess on my part, or game recognising game...

Maintain their digital privacy
