    One of the spending problems I have is I get into hobbies and it becomes an obsessive gear collecting activity. For example, backpacking. You can go backpacking with very basic, cheap equipment, but eventually I seem to end up wanting the most expensive gear. So hobby purchases is something I want to stop. I want to learn to do hobbies without expensive gear.
