B2 - I bet that $255 figure is pretty minimal about how it defines hobbies.

It probably wouldn't include fishing or hunting equipment, books, gardening supplies, camera equipment, etc or extra spending on things that everyone does, like cook or have a computer, that are more hobby-related, like baking several times a week or having a gaming PC. It might not even include spending on things that are also assets and traded, like stamps/coins/baseball cards etc.

They probably just add the sales figures from toy stores and craft stores and divide by the population.

I assume a whole bunch of people simply do not have hobbies. Which is super sad IMO -- nm - Guigue Jun 18, 07:59 1
- my dad is like that. he can barely walk so he doesn't golf any more. i guess watching tv is his hobby, that's kind of it. -- nm - colin Jun 18, 08:03
I would think it wouldn’t include start up costs—ex: fishing pole and tackle box and maybe a boat—but $255 for yearly license , gas, and bait/accessories -- nm* - Trending Jun 18, 07:56 2
- I'll bet it doesn't include gas - who would have that data? - Roger More Jun 18, 08:08
- Licenses (including launch, boat and fishing) run about 50-60 bucks per year. However, I easily spend over 250 on gear each year -- (edited) - decline Jun 18, 08:01
