But I don't make enough money to spend it like it's five dollars.

I make enough money these days, but I was at the store and thought about getting a ginger and lemon kombucha, which used to be $3.50 and is now, a few months later, $4.00-- I thought to myself, welp, I guess I'll never drink another kombucha for the rest of my life.

That just means it's time to invest in a new hobby and buy all the equipment, ingredients, and miscellaneous crap required to make it! At the very least, after looking into the process and price of that, $4 either won't seem like so much, or you'll have a new and interesting hobby. Either way, time successfully wasted.

I like where you're going with that, but I've seen videos on that weird fermenting thing in kombucha that looks like afterbirth/placenta and noooooo thank you!

Hahaha!! Yes, I had an ex that was into making stuff. He successfully brewed a couple of batches of beer and then wanted to get into kombucha. The yeast patties are certainly... interesting. (I have also forgotten the name and am too lazy to go look it up at this point. I know they call them mothers sometimes.)
