Did you take up a new hobby for the New Year? Well . . . enjoy doing your painting or cooking or spelunking now, because come May of 2020, it's just going to be a fond memory. Sorry.
According to a new survey, the average person can only stick with a new hobby for 16 months before three things get in the way: Work . . . our family responsibilities . . . and losing interest and motivation.
But during those 16 months . . . oh baby, we drop some cash. Here's the average amount that we spend on different hobbies while we're into them . . .
1. Gardening, $950.
2. Cooking, $805.
3. Going to the gym, $565.
4. Crafts, $453.
5. Cycling, $393.
6. Painting, $183.
7. Tennis, $200.
8. Yoga, $170.
