What hobby would you get into if time and money weren’t an issue?

I can’t think of anything.

My latest interest is repairing old books for my own use and for sale.

I’ve always gravitated towards hobbies that are inexpensive, save money, or have the potential to produce income.

I’ve stayed away from hobbies that are normally a financial drain.

If you have an interest you can usually find a way to stick a toe in the water and pay as you go.

repairing old books ?.. now that is a skill indeed.... (y)
 
I have more than one interest and hobby...problem is finding the time to do them all! I love hobbies!

Lately, I've wanted to learn to golf. There's a country club in my area that offers golf, and it's expensive but the picture of Bob Hope golfing and living to a ripe old age has always enticed my interest. You know...all that walking on beautifully cut grass...they keep calling, but the pandemic has kept me confined. I'm hoping in the future, when things get back to normal (HAH!) I might attempt it.

I have a stamp collection I want to get back into...started it when I was a kid. Received gifts from older family members and compiled some books.

I have a coin collection I want to get back into...began collecting pennies, then nickels, dimes, quarters, and a few older coins. Have to sift through them to see if there are any gems before releasing them back to the bank.

I'd like to compose more music. I have composed mostly for my benefit. It's a problem solving activity yet artistic at the same time.

Once I finish my dissertation, I will have more time to do all of the above! I'm in the middle of writing another 25,000 words to get close to finishing it.

BTW, SF has become a new hobby, and I enjoy scrolling down all the interesting threads. So I thank you all for it!:)
 
I'd love to be a professional magician. Not necessarily as big as David Copperfield or Penn and Teller
but I'd love to maybe travel to grade schools and perform for the children there. That or being a clown
seems like it would be a fun vocation but circuses of today just aren't what they once were. 🤡🧙‍♂️
If you like being a clown or magician, have you thought of going to children's hospitals and entertaining them? When I used to work at a children's hospital, we would have clowns come and perform. The kids loved them! Just a thought.

I once played 3 holes of golf. I was 19 over par so decided to retire to the 19th hole :)
Good list there.
 
one of my passions is very old books..I spend a lot of time in bookshops where some books are so old we're only allowed to touch them wearing white gloves ... many have been very carefully repaired and restored, and I'm led to understand it's a real skill
I knew an octogenarian years ago who would collect old books and then rewrite them to publish them (because of no copyright problems). So he would bring back to life topics or books that were practically "extinct."
