It seems that all of my hobbies have a minimum four to five figure entry fee......

It seems these days inexpensive and hobby dont go together. Please point out a few

We hit the range. Some days it's the shooting range, some days it's happy hour/driving range. Other activities include biking and hiking. Being on the edge of empty nesting, our focus has also been on trying new things... or old things in new places.

Too true.
But the wife enjoys most of those same hobbies, so we share the expenses. One of the lowest cost things we have started doing on occasion is day trips to unique destinations. Dee Wright Observatory was the first. Last time we went to Maryhill. The car doesn't burn too much gas and we'll have a meal somewhere along the way.
Not completely low cost, but we'll spend a day doing that for not much more than a movie where we're only there a couple of hours.

Sex, fine dining, building furniture.

I guess the latter two don't count as inexpensive.

I think someone is hinting at a "mile high club" sorta thing.....

Me and my wife like to go on excursions to destinations like that as well. I'm one of the lucky ones who has a wife and we actually enjoy each other's company in our "empty nest" phase of life.

Dude you could pull sexual innuendo out of a conversation on bar soap.

Umm. Lather.

That sex thing will cost you. If not now, it will later!


There are no "free rides" in this life!






Well, except for maybe that one gal down in Honduras back in '86....

Rookie numbers....

Gym. 3-4 times a week. Best spent $35 every month. Yes, we usually go together.

 

[OregonRider]

Playing cards.

Or in reverse order ..... That is a very productive day .

 

[Jay Walk]

Making fun of people. There is no end to it.

Gardening. Other than the price of water in this sh!thole known as Potland, it is very inexpensive. It gets us outside enjoying the summer and is rewarding us with lots of good food.

Long-term food storage is another one. We just bought 50# of steelhead from a lady in Cascade Locks. Smoked and canned 56 half-pints, cooked and vacuum packed a dozen small fillets, smoked or cooked the trimmings and will be eating those for the next several days. At only $6/pound by buying that much we saved a bit of money and now have a couple of years worth of fish stashed.

Combining those two hobbies, we prepped the first of our tomatoes for making sauce last night, and will be canning green beans in the near future. Our seven grape plants are on their way to producing 200+ pounds of grapes again this year which will make a years worth of juice and raisins.

Making jewelry, puzzle, or other small boxes from recycle materials.
Carving, kitchen tools, toiletry items, decorations, toys from wood, soap stone, small nut shells.
Fly tying, at least once your set up.
Bird house building from recycled material.
Checkering, at least once your set up.

As a friend of mine is wont to say, "It's not a hobby if you're not spending money."
