The Thing About Expensive Hobbies || Confessions of an Expensive Hobbyist

 I'm not going to just address bjds here, but other expensive hobbies as well such as cosplay or wearing alternative fashion. I'm not rich and chances are, you aren't as well. Most people who partake in expensive hobbies are normal people. We aren't rich! We have to save up and pay our bills too! What I'm trying to get at here is that to get through within a hobby, you need to have money. Money that can be used for things you want and money for things you need to live. If you need to pay your heating bills, it's not very smart to go and buy another doll or Angelic Pretty Dress. Put what you need before what you want. It's good to have a budget so you can slowly save up for your goal and still have money for what you need. Nobody's forcing you to buy these items! Go at your own pace and you'll do just fine. Trust me. In terms of how to make money, just make sure you have a stable job and live in a stable environment. You're life matters much more than a cosplay or doll. If you're still stubborn on buying what you want, you can save money by going through sales or layaways, which I can discuss about in the future. The main point I'm trying to get across here is that you need money for what you need, rather than what you want. Sorry for going on a rampage, but I just want ya'll to know that before going into an expensive hobby and except that it's going to cost you. It's not easy, but once you get a product in the end, you'll be much more happier!
