while I agree that you can spend a ton of money if you go hard into many hobbies there's definitely some major differences. You can do some pretty serious gaming with $5k in hardware and a hundred bucks a month. You're not doing much shooting if you're only spending a hundred bucks a month on ammo. And a hundred bucks a month gets you fucking nowhere if you're into boats, auto racing, airplanes, etc.

Just shoot .22 or air guns >you're into boats
Inflatable kayak >auto racing
You may have a point here >airplanes

Point is, most hobbies have poorfag options and richfag options. There may be more variance in some than others, but pretty much any hobby will let you make bad financial decisions.
It's a fuck of a lot easier to make a bad financial decision buying a motorboat vs. being into painting watercolors. While I'm sure some artists out there are dropping megabucks on fancy papers and paints that's the exception rather than the rule.
nta but $5k is an absolutely super high end top of the line gaming system. you can do fine with a $800 box made heavily with used parts and buying games for 70-90% off during sales (or piracy obviously for $0).
electronic/software hobbies in general are incredibly cheap, cheap upfront, cost afterwards is pennies of electricity. precisely why tech has made so much money, productivity is really high.

It's the software hobbies specifically. $5k upfront and a hundred bucks a month is a high end gaming setup. What does a "high end shooting setup" with really nice guns and enough ammo & range access to shoot the fuck out of them every day cost?

Depends on the type of shooting. Gunfire and pistol events aren't too bad, but trap/skeet, long distance ,and 3 gun can easily get you into mortgage territory for monthly expenses.

Shit meant to say rimfire. Guess that's what I get for using a tablet
Wait why would you pay in parts and not get the item rather than keeping the money and saving yourself to buy later. (unless it was a limited item.)
It's like shit credit
>Why are retards poor?
Buy it in two monthly paychecks basically.
layaway has been a thing forever, how old are you?
Yes, but it's usually for a much longer period than 45 days. WTF is the point of a layaway that short?
Time to finance a dominos pizza
Pic related.
>no plane guys
🙁
There's "bad financial decisions" and then there's "financial cock and ball torture". Plane guys are on another level. They're on a higher... plane.
>financial cock and ball torture
don't talk to me about TBOs.
Imagine being into both guns and airplanes, hahaha. Imagine getting your license, paying 170+ dollars an hour to fly.
Couldn't be me...
>paying 170+ dollars an hour to fly.
that's it?
Oh, that doesn't count 50 to 70 dollars an hour for the instructor.
Plus fuel
surely guitar guys would make the list
Should have audiophiles on there.
Or anything related to music, really. Guitars, drums, synths are a pretty quick ticket to financial ruin. Cameras too.
>implying sound serpents are a bad financial decision
[Laughs in no electrical noise from my neighbor's blender]
The meme could basically apply to any hobby.

Smart for school shooters. Don't need that much money up front, and its not like you will have to keep paying.
