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

If traveling can be considered a hobby I'd do the " Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous " type travel. You know, rent an entire island, fly private jets, that kind of thing
 

My hobby, well it is not really a hobby because I do get use out of the item. I collect glasses. Now not the glasses that you drink something out of, but eye wear. I really don't know how I got into it other than when I had a pair and a back up pair and sunglasses and they all looked very similar and thought to myself of this is too dull. So now I have many different styles. It is pretty crazy indeed. I even wear certain ones with certain outfits.

I love this! You have to be a member for a while longer yet, I think, before you can post pictures, but when you can, I'd love to see some of your glasses if you don't mind. I love different kinds of glasses, especially red ones, I love red! :)

Elton John has quite a collection, too.
 
Latin & Ballroom dancing. we've been there, and we are still there. Tuition, practice and training can rack up the costs. As can dance costumes, luckily though, my wife made most of them.
We learned a number of what is known as: Off-Beat dances. The Balboa being one of them. Here's a master class of Balboa by two very dear friends of ours.
 
If money were no object, I'd indulge in the hobbies I have now but don't have the money to spend on them. I love fountain pens. I'd get some really expensive ones to compare with the ones I have now to see if the expensive ones really do write better. I love the inexpensive ones I have now, so I can't see spending money on expensive one if they write the same.

But if money were no object. . . .
 
Classic cars, and motorcycles, metal working, and machining are all things I'm fully immersed in. For the last several yrs I've been spending the majority of my time on finishing the new shop. It's over 2700sf, so it's been a bit of a slog, but I'm getting close to finished. MIke

I would have gone that route but as my main hobby is already expensive enough, I'll just continue with it
 
I am a collector at heart. I bought a nice looking duck decoy for very little in an antique shop -- Mason Premier Canvasback as it turned out. Got interested, attended a collectors meet, and over a period of many years drove more than 10,000 miles, went door to door in the boondocks, and traded with many other collectors in pursuit of my passion. Problem was the house and walls came to be overcome -- decoys everywhere. Aieeee! With a couple of exceptions I dumped the collection and never looked back.

We’re not restricted to a small repertoire of endlessly repeated parables. We can draw on the best stories from across all of culture and history.”

Difficult, really difficult, but I suppose......

I'd buy every car and motorized modes of transport on the planet, then I'd scrap the lot, then I'd encourage people to use their legs and plates of meat to get about, but I'd allow disabled folk to have any electric or motorized devices they require.

OK, I'll stand against the wall like a good boy while you all take aim with your rifles. 😊

That sounds good and all but I'll need more coffee to understand this. :coffee:
 
I love to play my guitar and sing and do so every morning 5 days/week. However, I only strum along with all those cords I know. I sometimes wish I could play like Chet Atkins, Merle Travis, Roy Clark or Hank Snow. I never got into wild rock so guys like Jimmy Hendrix do nothing for me. But I'm afraid, it ain't gonna happen!
 
Since I live in the area where skiing/snowboarding is a very big thing and I have done it before and have enjoyed it as a fun time, I think if I had the money I would hire a Ski Professional to really teach me how to ski so I could attempt the difficult slopes.

Other than collecting the eye glasses that I already do. :)
 
I dabble in Art which is already expensive enough but I would up my game
and buy more supplies, take some lessons in new techniques, and travel.
