<prompt> Human: My partner and I have been digging deep into budgeting over the last few months since graduating college, and its frustrating as hell. I love spending money, I love buying things, and it feels like I spend my days dreaming about all the things I want to get or do. I have an extremely unhealthy urge to constantly buy lottery tickets, because it feels like the only way Ill be truly satisfied is if I have freedom to pursue my hobbies as I please. I usually am able to abstain, because I know financially its like throwing money in the garbage, but I still cant help myself sometimes because it feels like the only chance Ill ever have to do what I want in life. Regardless, I need new hobbies. I need other things to fill my time that dont constantly urge me to spend money, whether its a requirement as a baseline to do whatever it is or whether theres constantly new equipment I want to buy. I hate to give up something I love doing, but it feels like unless its completely out of my life itll constantly cause stress and tension, within me and in my relationship, when Im continuously trying to stop myself from spending money. My partner is significantly more frugal than I am - she considers 50 a reasonable monthly budget to spend on hobbies, I consider it essentially worthless. I have so many things I want to do with my time, but I hate feeling like I cant even look into new things because itll just become a new money sink. What sort of things can I do with my time that wont make me want to spend more money on them? Should I quit things I enjoy in an effort to not want to spend money on them?Assistant: I love biking. Besides the initial cost of the bike, its free. Human: I really want to get into biking, I just cant seem to find a month to shell out 200 bucks or more to get a usable bike. I know you can get one cheaper, but it feels pointless to get a cheap shitty bike thatll make riding it miserable and make me not want to use it ever.Assistant: Why do you poo poo on other outdoor hobbies but act gung ho toward biking?Human: Well, for one, biking feels like an actual hobby or interest whereas go for a walk feels like something my mother would tell me if I said I was bored as a child.  <response>: Does it help if you call it Hiking?
