My killer is videogames, movies and TV shows and books. I bought a limited edition of Lord of the rings where it's got gold leaf pages, coloured maps and is one volume and I've still been planning to read it 1-2 years later. It cost me 50-60 quid too.

I'm terribly sorry to inform you that it seems that we will be getting an even more complete extra extended edition for the 25th anniversary, at least that's what Peter Jackson seems to be indicating in the commentary of the old extended edition.

The book is a good read, though The Two Towers drags a bit. I do wonder for people that saw the movies first, if you'll be as offended as a certain subsection of the fandom that just cannot understand why they didn't do a line by line recreation of the book. (Spoiler, it wouldn't have translated to film very well.)

buying hobby supplies is a separate hobby than actually using them.

Found my hobby

Figure out how to become a "trainer" or "expert" in your hobbies. At least then they pay for themselves, and you'll naturally cycle through them, because honestly how many people will actually need a tandem hang-glide or skydive more than a couple times?

if you're bad enough at it, they'll only need your services once!

Mixture of no money and too much to do is my experience.
