What is your "inexpensive" hobby that turned out to be expensive/ you gradually invested lots of money into?

Edit: so it turns out that every hobby can be expensive if you do it long enough.

Also I love how you talk about your hobby as some addicts.

Beekeeping. It gets expensive very fast and doesn't seem to ease year on year
- If you get good at it and if you run enough hives each year, it does, eventually, start making money though! Which is almost more frustrating, because every dollar you spend on it could come back some day in honey sales... but will it?
  
  Not this year anyway. Atrocious weather all summer has resulted in 10% of last year's harvest.
