surely your hobby can't be that expensive

https://feddit.org/post/23139536

there has to be a list of hobbies one can try that cost practically nothing:

Solving Rubik cubes (a high quality speedcube is about 20$)

Crocheting/stitching (needles and yarn after cheap)

Writing (free)

programming

โ€ฆ (please expand if you have any ideas)

Writing (free)

Maybe if you only write in dirt with your finger. Orherwise you need writing implements and something to write on.

Actually free things you can do:

  • Walking/running

  • Stare

  • Singing

  • Collecting rocks

  • Stare

  • Sleeping

For walking/running you need proper shoes.
Pretty sure people were walking and running long before shoes ever were invented.
But if you dont want to go bankrupt over medical bills, you should have the right shoes to provide support
pretty sure they walked in dirt, and not concrete roads.

yhea, but it takes years to develop your foot skin to be tough enough for that.

met someone who lived barefoot, his feet were something else.

letโ€™s just say, it isnโ€™t trivial to go back to a life without shoes.
