plactagonicWhat is your "inexpensive" hobby that turned out to be expensive/ you gradually invested lots of money into?
HSLFountain pens - I started with a 30 euro Parker but it seems like just one is never enough.
This. At first you’re like “oh geez, $20 for a pen?” Then it’s “oh, I absolutely need to spend $400 for a custom handmade Edison or (insert your favorite brand)” sure it writes a little better than the $20 pen, but holy schnikes does it look and feel so much better.
One is never enough. I mean, you gotta have one for each ink, right? RIGHT??
There are so many options to try to see what you like. Plus, the fountain pen community is honestly one of the best. Dangerous for the wallet…
PatternYeah. I had to start pinching myself when I started to look at a $400 pen as a “bargain”. Still love my fountain pens, though.
