Hobbies are funny things, aren’t they?
Well, of course, my hobbies are perfectly serious, it’s your hobbies that are peculiar, aren’t they 
Whatever your hobby is, I can confidently say that you’re spending more on it than you would do if you had to cost out the benefits to you of it. Many of us would baulk at the amount the horsey set spend on equestrian clothing but that’s just a more obviously non-cost effective spend as hobbies go. Even at the really cheapo end of hobbies such as Tai Chi many find themselves buying the clothing yet it’s not as if you can’t do Tai Chi in the t-shirt and shorts that you already have, is it?
At the end of the day many of the things that we lump under the heading of “hobby” are really just to fill in the day. Nothing wrong with that, of course, and anything you call “hobby” is usually something that interests you and that you like doing which makes the money spent on it something of a side-issue.
Except for those collecting classic cars. Now, there’s a seriously expensive hobby!
