I lock my hobby acquisitions behind goals. Example sourdough
0-5 loaves use what I got,
6+ loaves get a dedicated jar,
10+ loaves get a proofing basket,
16+ loaves…
That way I can drop at anytime and not feel money was wasted and the amount of hobby stuff is proportional to my lasting enjoyment. Currently, I’m doing home lab stuff, and have the same progression system going from raspberry pies to a full fat server.
