Dang, does anyone have any advice here? If it was free stuff it would be fine, but there’s always some gear or materials to buy
A couple things that help are having a large group of people you know with a vast swathe of interests, going to a maker space, or sometimes even the local library can have info or supplies for things.
Or dipping your toes in on a budget if you can afford it
Edit: Or one thing that kinda helps me is trying to only branch into similar hobbies to ones you have the supplies for. Though I'm not too good at that either... hench the shelf.
I also seem to cycle through my multitude of interests which helps a bit, or applying different hobbies together but the brain craves what the brain craves and there's few things it craves as much as NEW
