I wonder. How much money do you all put into your favorite hobbies? What is the payback time for your hobbies? Here's the thing with me. I will never recover the amount of money I put into an off grid system unless electricity prices reach 50 cents/kwh because I am already so energy efficient. However, my "hobby" is keeping my money out of the utility company's hands and being self-sufficient in regards to energy. So for this hobby I am happy to spend ten of fifteen thousand dollars to keep the utility from having my money. I have a number of friends who have severe car hobbies. They think nothing of dropping ten thousand bucks on a beautiful paint job for their classic Mustang or '57 Chevy. It's not always about payback. Sometimes it's just for fun.
