What is your "inexpensive" hobby that turned out to be expensive/ you gradually invested lots of money into?

Edit: so it turns out that every hobby can be expensive if you do it long enough.
Also I love how you talk about your hobby as some addicts.

Simple, I read. And with the internet I never have to worry about buying books.
How's the price of the external hard drive hitting you?

How do you have enough books to max out storage! I have an entire collection of about 5k books and 4-5 comics downloaded on my 32 gb eink
Book+audio book bundles often enough. Tabletop reference materials.
Book files are tiny though. Even very long books with a bunch of pictures are only usually a few megabytes in epub format. A $5 USB stick should fit thousands of books on it.
If you're using PDF for books, then stop doing that :) PDFs have a bunch of limitations - the main ones being thay you can't change the font size, and it can't reflow the layout based on your screen size (i.e. format the book so a page exactly matches your screen size). They're hard to read on mobile as a result.
I don't have a ton of storage. My Raspberry pi400 which is my desktop has a 1TB and a 500GB SSD attached. I keep the Books folder synced with Google Drive along with my phone and Kindle Fire. My Book dir is: 58GB and has 18748 items (16970 files, 1777 folders). Gotta love zlib and Anna's.
