I have a couple hobbies.
1. Bagpipes
The good ones range from $600-4000.

Kilt, mines 6 yards $535
Prince Charlie Jacket $587
Glengarry $80
Hose (socks) $45
Flashes $25
Gillie Brogues (shoes) $180
Hackle(s) $40-60
Sporran $50-300
Nice Tuxedo French cuff shirt $95
Cufflinks that go with theme on Prince Charlie Jacket $80
2. RC Airplanes
I can't count how many I have had all of them range from $150-400
You crash a lot when you are first learning and when you are racing you crash.
RC Controller a good one $150-2000
All the nick knacks that you need to go with flying. I can't remember all of them $? a lot
When I go to buy stuff for flying I usually walk out of the hobby store after paying $100-500
3. Private Pilot
This I am just getting into
Used Plane $10,000-40,000
New Plane $35,000 and up
AV Gas in my area is right around $4.40
You burn usually any where from 10-15 gallons an hour.
If you rent a plane a one hour flight in a wet (fueled) plane $100
Instructor (ha ha I have it cheap) $25
How much money they tell you that you will spend $4,000-5,000. What you actually spend $10,000- 12,000 just to get your private pilot license.
Renting a hanger $depends on where you live and who you know.
Renting a spot to tie down on tarmac $dahh I can feel the money draining just thinking about it.
Shall I go on?
4. Backpacking
I have spent way more on backpacking than all the things I have done on geocaching.
All I have spent on Geocaching is $80 for my GPS. And about $10 in cache containers. Will be buying more to place tomorrow. $maybe 10 and knickknacks to put in them. When I cache I don't trade. To me the sport is finding them not trying to trade Mickey D's happy meal toys. Yes if I do see something good I will trade but that’s it.
