I’ve never lied about the costs of my hobbies or purchases. Cars, guns, electronics, collectibles, etc. makes no sense. People are generally smart enough to figure out that you probably make a certain amount for your job, and if they have some ideas about your rent etc. and you have a hobby- and seem to have less money than you should- they don’t have to wonder where all your money goes- they’re likely to assume it goes to your hobby if there’s no other obvious culprit. Besides that honesty and transparency are best. I’ve been with lots of partners who didn’t understand my hobbies but the understood passion- or at least that wether silly to them it was important to me.

Your hobby is often a form of expression. My current partner did once complain when I was building the first car I made while we were together. I simply told them that I didn’t give them grief when they decided we needed to spend $3k on new chairs because they didn’t like the old ones, or we needed new curtains etc. They had a need- they didn’t take pleasure in our living space and wanted it to be a place they felt good in. I don’t need nice chairs- I appreciate them but a functional chair is a chair. But I understood their emotional need. Once I explained it like that they understood. If your responsibilities are handled and you’re on track for your goals- go nuts. Even if they aren’t you do need to (wisely) address your emotional needs now and then and satisfy your passions. I’ve been racing since I was 4 and got my first Gokart. It’s part of me and never won’t be. To love me means to take that part of me too.
