Unless you count netflix or social media doom scrolling as a hobby, our old idea of hobbies are in decline because people are busy making a living.

Cooking is sort of my everyday hobby, climbing & skiing are my weekend/seasonal hobbies.



It seems like the Netflix and social media doom scrolling has more to do with the decline of hobbies rather than day jobs.


Once we have kids we are now more involved with our kids. For better or for worse. We sacrifice time so our kids can have hobbies and extra curriculars. We work hard so we can afford it all. Violins aren't cheap.
