Depends what hobbies you do! I could easily use that up upgrading my backpacking gear and maybe a few nice to haves on my weightlifting stuff like nicer plates. They are very much BIFL items, but the bigger ones add up fast, esp for oly sizes.

Definitely! Thankfully I already have a full backpacking set up for my partner and myself, and just got a squat rack and a full set of Rogue bumper plates and barbell. Super lucky.

I want to spend on hobbies, but I’m afraid of spending it on something that collects dust if I don’t use it, so that’s why I’m on the fence about instrument stuff.

Sooo jealous! We have a mishmash, but most of our 45s are just Yorks and their grab handles suck. Our bumper plates just live on the bars since they are such a pain. Ah well, they do the thing. Myself I would likely pick up an e-bike conversion kit and a cargo trailer for my Surly since that would be a sweet combo and we have some real steep hills here.

Nice I like that idea! I also have a Surly bike and I really like it but I need to change the gearing since she’s a bit of a slowpoke.
