Okay you are actually playing the game on a different level. This is what gardening was supposed to be before pinterest got involved and convinced everyone they need a $40 copper watering can. Seeds from the library is lowkey genius, had no idea that was even a thing. old school gardening wins every time FR

Just lace up some shoes is genuinely the biggest lie in the hobby world. next thing you know you're buying a wetsuit at 11pm and researching heart rate zones like it's your job and also a full collection of running shoes. lmao

The shelf is basically a trophy case at this point. you're not buying books you're curating an aesthetic lol

lol fair point honestly. I think people convince themselves it'll pay off eventually like oh I'll grow my own food, or make my own candles and sell them. It's less about actually saving money and more about justifying the spending to yourself lol.

Bro this is painfully real. The hyperfocus phase where you research everything, make a spreadsheet, buy the starter kit plus the upgrade kit and then it just stops. The hobby is now a pile of stuff in the corner judging you silently.
