How much do you spend on hobbying?

Not that I, or anyone, should consider this…but…if hypothetically, someone start a shell company to allow fellow connoisseurs to contribute to, can withdraw funds for their respective hobbies and also be tax deductible eligible as charitable donations. These funds are then collectively held off shore and then combined into a hedge fund etf account which grows and compounds like a flexible checking account to offset inflation unlike where your money slowly dies in a traditional bank. And if the CO ever checks it would come up as a charitable nonprofit donation for a “good cause” and provides a detail donation receipt for whoever’s asking.
Once married. Spark fizzled out. The one I thought would be with me for the rest of my life was not the one. People change. Myself and so many other married couples that I know have no sex or hardly any sex. This hobby is a good escape from all the married drama BS. Best part is the variety and the fact I can just walk away after the session.
Mid 30's single here. Redpilled early, tried a few LTRs, didn't pan out. Failed compliance tests and family dynamics hinted of future and hidden dysfunction. AWALT realities, it's okay, moved on.
Hmm...I once read on reddit, you need 3 hobbies. One to make $ with, one to be creative with and one to stay healthy with. Soo.. I went HAM on that:
Income — Got my job in tech, another job for a backup and mo' capital. A small business on the weekends for hospitality + food/bev. A busy options portfolio of theta decay to manage based on earnings, geopolitics and sector rotation that I monitor. Passive investments with mixed use real estate dev in DFW. Pre-IPO stock picking and long stock positions in industrial staples and commodities. Use to play poker regularly in frequent trips to Vegas to rob drunk tourists in a rush, that kinda died out. Would like to get back into that at some point.
Fun/Creativity — Lots of writing, working on a memoir. Have enough material for two books. Sketched out the 2nd but pounding to finish the 1st tome first. I do some music production on the side — working a deep house album, sorta like FKJ meets Nujabes. Learning to work on video editing and After Effects for fun. I read a lot, burning through the Dune saga yet again at the moment. I'm working on learning Korean (for obvious reasons), I speak intermediate Chinese, intermediate read/write German, speak crude Japanese. After more time in Asian languages, want to pick up Dutch since it's the drunken bastard of German + English and would love to visit Amsterdam this year.
Getting a dog, pup will be ready to pick up in 4 weeks.
Health —Daily intermittent fasting on a 22-24+ fasting window. Brazilian jiu jitsu almost every weekday. Lift and run every other day. Firearms runnin' & gunning + I teach shotgun instruction. I cook a lot and bake. Vitamin D in the pool/hot tub every day almost. Smoke some indica before sleep or hit edibles.

I see one provider a month. Sometimes every other month.
I don’t really have a budget because I make management consulting money.
I just have a wife, great hobbies, and I’ll partake in this when I actually have real downtime.
This year I’ve spent a grand total of just under $900.
Last year I spent around $2,500

Not married, but I'll speak for my married friends... NO. Blowjobs and sex become union jobs after wedding cake is consumed.
Nah, the best thing for a girlfriend is to smell a little competition anxiety with foreign pussy and random hairs found here and there. Hell, I'll borrow high heels from a home girl to leave at my place to fcuk with some girls' heads.
The best wife/gf is the one that's a bit scared of losing you.
A happy man is a happy woman.
Women cannot be happy. They don't know what they want, but they want it yesterday and more of it right right now. Every day is opposite day. Why the hell would I care to appease a walking talking tornado of chaos?

Based
I just broke up with my Gf and she could never be happy for more then a few hours. The casual hook ups and k girls treat me better. There would always be something bothering her and I just couldn’t deal with it anymore. 2 plus years down the drain, good thing I procrastinated buying an engagement ring. I always thought the red pill/mgtow guys were a little to much but I totally understand them now. Women belong to the streets. No women is worth your time if she isn’t giving it up.
stay safe kings never let a thot bring you down
