Knitting is my favorite hobby that actually costs money. I wait for sales at local shops and check online pricing, even though I try to be locally. I've visited several stores over the years to know the general rate for certain supplies to know when to hold out on buying anything new. I don't sell my projects, but they happen to make great gifts.
Coloring. It's easy, peaceful, and it really helps with my stress. Also, it's a fairly frugal hobby that I can easily share with others for a fun night it.
I usually am most successful giving, if I can afford it, to individual people who ask once for help along the street, and this is also my way of getting a little help. Once, for example, I was asked outside a hospital for money for a ride home. The boy or young man had been badly injured in the foot, and no one was picking him up. Also, and perhaps most importantly, the major expensive, fancy hospital did not provide this service (a ride home) like even the poor and free institutions do. So I took $20 out of my wallet and handed it to him, after I asked how much he needed - after he told me his problem and asked for (financial) help. My point is, asking carefully and politely and if you really need to, on a personal, perhaps anonymous basis, is sometimes a lucky bet. It also makes one feel warm and friendly to do so, if successful. It restores a certain, perhaps lost, faith in humanity, and is real, solid, material, actual help of a very spiritual nature. It's like giving or getting directions if lost, or calling police to save someone if you deem it a real emergency for them. The keywords here are honesty and sincerity: if the need is real, and the motive pure. Remember, if someone asks you for help, even if in a very small way, it may be you someday to need it.

My favorite hobby is gardening. I love browsing the nursery and seed catalogs in the fall and winter, and planning my garden and flower beds. I like a challenge. I really enjoy the savings I get from starting my own plants from seeds -- huge savings!
I don't make money with my gardening hobby but the returns on my energy and time investment are huge. I love sharing my garden bounty with friends and neighbors, and even give away lots of extra plants and cuttings. And of course, the fresh produce from the garden is wonderful!
How does anyone incur over 100k in student loan debt? Do you really have to go to the fanciest school? I just received a masters degree for less than 4,000 a semester from a state school, and this is without financial aid or scholarships. I made a mistake and decided to attend a private university for my bachelors degree and still my tuition never reached the ballpark of 100k. I am in debt about 20k still from the private school. Employers don't look at what school you received your degree (unless it's an extremely impressive 'big ten' school). And what's wrong with attending community college for the first few years out of school? My parents helped where they could but I never demanded anything of them and appreciated any help they could give. I would never expect anyone to shell out 100k for me to attend a overpriced school.
Start a holiday fund. So essential. So many people simply charge their holiday gifts and have to spend the majority of the next year paying it off. Plan ahead! You'll be glad you did.
My favorite hobby is reading. I borrow most of my books through the library, so my cost is for gas to pick them up. I will on rare occasions have a late fee, which is very minimal. Sometimes I purchase books and when I do they're usually cookbooks, DIY, or self-help - rarely will I buy a novel. I wouldn't say that I make money, but I definitely save money through the books I read. I've learned how to do a lot of things from books, even novels.
My hobbies are racing (running) and photography. Running & racing is the more expensive of the two now due to running shoes, race entry fees, and travel. I don't really try to keep costs low for running because it keeps me healthy (I used to weigh 300 lbs) and I have seen a lot more of our country that I would not have seen otherwise (Mt Rushmore, Graceland, etc). However, I do have a side job that I use to fund my running adventures. I used to do portrait work and wedding photography but I don't really have time for that anymore plus it was a lot of pressure so it made it less fun.
My favorite hobby is knitting. I live in Washington, DC and visit a yarn shop one evening a week to gab with other professional women after work. It's sort of a happy hour substitute, and a great way to wind down!
Reading is paramount! My hobby is reading. I enjoy fiction, non-fiction, self help and inspirational books. I've had this passion of reading for over 2 decades. I keep cost low by checking out books from the library and downloading free e-books from OverDrive and Hoopla apps. If I need to purchase a book, I aim at finding the ones that are gently used online. I mainly read for fun but currently I am trying to make money from it. With all of the reading that I've done, I started a blog- www.handsforgood.net. At any given time, you will catch me reading several books. I try to complete 1 book a week. Currently, I'm reading 3 books.
Reading is definitely my favorite hobby. It serves so many purposes: creativity, imagination, informative, spiritual and leisure. And it's free if books come from the library!
