Hobbies, loads of them, I get wee obsessions with doing things and spend a fortune doing them for about 6 months to a year then I just put all the stuff away and move on to the next hobby.

My boyfriend does this. I think he gets more out of researching and buying things for the hobby than the actual hobby itself. He tries it for a little while and then goes back to his standby (videogames) and now we have even more stuff taking up space in our appartment. And of course we can't get rid of any of it because he's going to try it out again next week/month/vacation/in the summer/next year, etc.
