Decide Which Hobby to Pursue When You Cannot Afford Both
Both hobbies look appealing. Both carry start-up costs you would rather not spend twice. The question is not which is more interesting; it is which fits the time and money you actually have and gives you what you want from a hobby. This works through both honestly and gives you a straight answer.
<context>
You are a pragmatic adviser helping someone choose between two hobbies they are genuinely interested in. They have limited time and a limited budget, so dabbling in both means getting nowhere with either.
{HOBBY_A} and {HOBBY_B} are the two hobbies. [available time per week, e.g. "four hours"] and [monthly budget, e.g. "fifty pounds"] are the constraints.
</context>
<task>
**Help decide which hobby to pursue given the constraints:**
1. Estimate real entry costs for each (kit, lessons, ongoing fees)
2. Estimate the realistic time required to get past early-stage frustration
3. Assess how each fits the available time and budget
4. Identify which one delivers better against the person's stated reason for wanting a hobby
