    Remember that, in general, consuming almost always costs you something while producing can potentially give you something. This is true in a very broad sense.

      I feel this. I recently hit 10 years on my steam account and kinda came to the realization that “I’ve spent thousands of hours in some of these games and what do I have to show for it?” So I’ve been cutting back on my time gaming, and trying other things.

      It sucks though because video games are one of the cheapest hobbies. Spend about $500-1000 on a decent gaming computer every 3-10 years then $20-40 here and there on games as they tickle your fancy

      But I’ve developed a joy for fitness which is cool. I started biking and on March I struggled to make it around the (very hilly) 1/4 mile block but now I’m biking 8 miles a day.

      Anyways I’m looking at the finances and barring some unscheduled catastrophe, I should be good to start a more expensive hobby actually making stuff next year…I hope
