This hobby maybe expensive, but consider.......... My main hobby is music. The bass guitar is my instrument. A good bass runs somewhere in the range of $800-$1500. There are cheaper but buyer beware. There are far more expensive but unless your doing studio work for a living, those basses would be over the top. Average musician owns three instruments. Do the math. Then there is "support equipment". Just like the tools for MRR, instruments need TLC. This is easily another $1000. Plus, the stuff you buy and then realize you don't need or actually needed the bigger or better model, so add another $1000 for that. Sound equipment can be considered the layout for musicians. Cheap but good system $2000, standard semi-pro club system $10,000 and an outdoor system that actually works - $25,000. Yes, hobbies are expensive. I don't think the MRR is out of line and actually is inexpensive compared to some others. As mentioned before, a hobby should provide stress relief or some self-actualization. As I tell new musicians, buy a basic set up and see if you like it. If you do, spend time learning which direction you wi***o go before dropping major coin. Once you know where you want to go, budget and save. Time is always on your side. Sometimes the items we can't buy today is obsolete tomorrow and you dodge a bullet. Most important, enjoy. I think the same advise can apply to MRR.
