Try coin collecting. It doesn't have to cost you a lot. You can go to the bank and pick of a box of coin (whichever denomination you like) for exactly face value. A box of pennies is $25, a box of nickels is $100, a box of dimes is $250 and boxes of quarters or half dollars are $500. You don't have to buy the whole box. The bank can pull out whatever amount you like.
Once you get a box, you can go through and pull out the better coins (there are books to help with this or websites). You can pick up a coin album and try to fill all the holes (get one for each year) or just search for interesting ones.
The coins that you don't want can be returned to the bank and put straight back into your account (though it's often better to return the coins to a different bank (not just a different branch but a different bank) so that you don't search the same coins over and over). Everything you find will have been obtained at face value. You'd be surprised what people have found. Check out these links to see:

Also check your change for interesting finds.
Some things to search for: wheat pennies, silver dimes, silver quarters, old coins, error coins, coins with the "S" mintmark - it could be a proof coin etc. There's always the chance that you could find a real treasure!
It's also helpful to buy a red book. It can help you price your coins and will answer many of the questions you may have.
OR IF THAT'S NOT FOR YOU...

Coin collecting is a very hot hobby right now, and also one with investment potential, and Texas Hold 'Em Poker is very hot as well. Others include DVD collecting, sports cards and memorabilia, Arts & Crafts, etc. Some people are actually saying Yard Saling can be considered a popular hobby these days, as many people are actually making a regular routine of it, and even making a profit from some of their finds. :)

Coin collecting, once known as the hobby of kings, is very popular. In the 50's and 60's it just exploded and there has been another large growth spurt in the US due to the State Quarter program.

I think hobbies are personal. It depends on the person, environment, age and social statue.
