How Do You Actually Afford Your Hobbies These Days?

I’ve noticed that a lot of hobbies today, from gaming setups to photography, fitness classes or even just getting into gardening, can get insanely expensive. Meanwhile, rent, bills and groceries keep going up.

How do you manage to keep doing what you love without going broke? Or have you had to put some hobbies on hold entirely? I’m curious what strategies other people are using.
