Budgeting for a hobby can require doing a bit of research first. Only once someone knows what their hobby will cost can they then create a budget for it. When you know the costs, work to keep them as low as possible (say, by buying second-hand equipment, if needed) and then divide the cost by the number of months you are willing to save. Put aside that amount in a high-yield savings account to earn some interest until you have enough saved up.
