I love to draw, paint, crochet and embroider .Really you can choose to do anything what ever you feel like doing. you can do craft projects like making bird houses and maybe get really good at your projects you can sell them ;).

Play a musical instrument. It's fun, relaxing,and will immediately get your mind off of any problems.

Wow. So many things to consider. Do you like to be active ? Indoors or out ? What is your budget ? Without question the funnest and most expensive hobby I ever had was flying sailplanes. Reading can be enjoyable and free if you use a library. You can join a club or stargaze. You can sew quilts or go to museums. How about gardening ? Rebuild a car or boat. Fishing, camping. Volunteer.

I have one for you. Maybe writing. After all, if you like writing in forums, then maybe writing will be good.

I enjoy gardening as a hobby. This was my first year at doing some container gardening and I figured it was also economically friendly. It has been SOOO much more rewarding than I initially thought! Very simple, and I love the fact that I can go right out on my back deck and pick my own spinach, cucumbers, squash, and tomatoes. I also have an herb garden.  :thumbsup:

I love to write. When the mood hits just right you never know what I may say lol. Reading and scrap booking are the other two hobbies that I enjoy. Also love taking pictures though I do not get to do that as much as I would like.

My favorite hobby of course is making money online. It's one of the few that put money INTO my pockets instead of taking it out for expenses greater than the income they produce. I get involved in learning to use new skills to aid my progress, like just yesterday I found a website to let anyone record desktop videos for free that you can post on YouTube to get more referrals. Try ScreenCast-O-Matic.com

Making this money allows me to pursue my other favorite hobby that costs me plenty, singing in a Barbershop Quartet. Dues, music, travel, outfits, workshops, contest fees and it all adds up, but it's worth it to me.

I will have to agree with oldbuddy, making money on line.

Well I like swimming, camping, drawing, painting, photography, writing, gardening, softball, volleyball, video games, making money online, walking, etc.. My suggestions is to concentrate on one or two hobbies. I never seem to have time to do all the things that interest me.

I would suggest vegetable gardening, fishing, hunting, or crabbing (if you're in the Pacific Northwest). These are fun hobbies with fringe benefits.

I do live in the northwest and I agree with that to a certain extent, but I have never been fishing when I couldn't have bought the fish at the store for a lot less money. In fact my friend just brought back 5 Salmon from Kodiac, Alaska that cost him over $1,000 per fish!

WHAT ARE SOME OF THE THINGS YOU LIKE TO DO?  POSSIBLY YOU CAN DEVELOP SOMETHING FROM THAT.  I LIKE WALKING, READING AND MAKING SCENTED CANDLES.

I like  jogging or walking but I wish I could play a musical instrument. Making money on line is a new exciting hobby.

Playing video games...definitely not just for stereotypes.  They allow you to escape to another world, work on goals, have fun, and stimulate you mentally.

Traveling is another very good hobby.

I would say volunteering I mean that is something that would benefit so many people it would help out a cause and benefit you just as much it feels good to help out others it really does

RC(radio control) there's so many different directions to go, you can go for planes, helicopters, cars and trucks, boats, even jets! there's also gas or electric. large scal, medium scale, mini scale, and micro scale. you can build them yourself or buy them ready to run. there's limitless ways to customize them(higher performance motors and engines, aluminum parts, gearing, etc.). i have a 1/8 scale buggy thats 4 wheel drive and runs on nitro-methane gas that can hit 40-45mph. and i have a 1/24 scale 4 wheel drive electric micro truck than can hit 30mph no problem. and i just got a 1/18 scale electric 4wd mini monster/stadium truck that can go 50+mph! i always wanted to do planes and helis but i'm disabled and don't have good enough coordination/motor control anymore. if you like working on cars/engines but feel overwhelmed or it's too expensive these nitro RCs are the way to go, there's lots of maintenance and things to work on. it can get expensive, but it's fun stuff. if you're good though you can actually do it professionally and make good money. wow i wrote a lot of stuff lol. anyway that's what i like to do.

Very interesting, glad you shared so much.  The last time I remember seeing one of these fuel powered rc cars was in the 80's and I remember being amazed at how fast it went. 

My hobby was collecting Atari 2600 games and I still enjoy playing them even though I don't collect anymore.  My hobbies now are travel(local and far), collecting important newspapers, and bottle caps.

             Make some arts and crafts at home. Sell them and make some money. Making money online is a different story because sometimes you win...sometimes you lose your money to scammers who run away with the money you give them.

i just thought of another one. building PCs. sounds intimidating, but it's actually very easy and fun once you learn what parts are compatible with what. you can build a cheap one for half the price of a store bought, that's if you only need it for basic stuff, like if you don't play games, do photo or video editing, do animation, or graphic design or anything of that nature. but if you do any of those things you can build a custom PC to your EXACT specs, using only brands of parts you trust. plus it's even more of a money saver the higher/better specs you go. you could build a PC with equal or better specs of a $2,000 dell for $1,200-1,500 plus only parts from good manufacturers instead of cheapo knock-off brands. not to mention a lot of PC companies have certain essential parts(motherboards, power supplies video cards, etc) that aren't compatible with independent parts manufacturers, so if it breaks or you wanna upgrade you gotta pay through the nose to have them fix it, or in some cases if you just want to upgrade it's more cost effective to just buy a new computer. i've built 3 PCs so far and i really enjoy it.

I would like to say that making money online is my hobby, but I just don't do it enough!  ;)
But, scrapbooking is a great hobby. Not only do you have great memories captured in a book, but it's a lot of fun, and you can get really creative!

I don't know you but I can share what works for me. A good hobby is something that you look forward to doing. When you think of it it makes you smile and wonder when you'll have a chance to do it again. While your doing it you feel content and relaxed like you are somewhere miles away, happy hunting. :wave:
