Let's see.. I'll start with the hobby I don't do anymore.. Dj'ing.
$500 would get me a decent set of headphones and some records.
I could get a good set of needles for under $500 as well.
$2000 got me a set of Technic 1200's.
another $2000 got me the mixer.
who knows how much I spent on records.. way too much I'm sure.
My hobby now is editing video.. it's my job as well.
$500 and $2000 doesn't get me anything. Maybe a decent computer to edit stuff with but the software alone is going to cost about $5000, hardware accelerators cost anywhere from $20k-$50k, plug-ins cost from free to thousands.. other editing apps cost well over $5000..
man. I need a new hobby.
