Organise Your Hobby Budget Without Guilt

You love the hobby and you flinch every time the card comes out, because the spending is unplanned and feels like an indulgence. This builds a deliberate hobby budget. It works out the true annual cost, then gives the spend a planned home, because a budgeted allocation creates far less guilt than money that just leaks out. You enjoy the thing instead of apologising for it.

**Create the system:**
4. Show how to open or designate a separate savings pot specifically for the hobby
5. Set up an automatic monthly transfer to fund it
