Perhaps it's a bit to late (my bad) to revise the question but I meant to ask about your other activity(ies) that you are passionate about. Activity that occupies your mind during waking moment and consumes times and money, your life seems to resolve around, and your family thinks you are too obsessed but has to put up.
Out of my list if I were to pick the activities that occupy my mind during waking moments and consume my time and money, and which my life seems to revolve around .... I'd probably pick ...
-- travel
-- attending classes
and the photography one is kind of sneaking up the list.
As for my family ... my family is involved in all of it too.

I have too many pastimes, and need to give a few up, but my kids don't want to move out, and my wife vetoed my plan to move to a one-bedroom apartment while they were visiting relatives.

#3  used on #2 could get you either a new one room accommodation or a real version of #6.

Being self-employed gives me lots of free time for hobbies: photography, drawing (graphite/digital), tattoos (especially "hand-poke" Japanese tebori), Photoshop, studying Japanese language and culture, aikido, sword-fighting, training and playing with my 2 dogs, hiking, indoor horticulture, MMORPG's, recycling and picking up garbage, eating with chopsticks... I want to learn calligraphy too, but I think I'll wait until I begin learning katakana and kanji.

That's funny. I just found those two sites last night. We just got back from Italy, and for some reason caffe americano now tastes like crap. 
I gotta say, all the bickering over grinders, tampers, semi-auto vs. manual, and crema just felt really familiar, thanks to my time on bf. Who'd have thought so much could be said about a freakinging cuppa coffee?
Or that the worst barista in the smallest coffe stand in the podunkiest little Italian town could pull a shot of espresso twice as good as the best I've had at Starbucks.

I'll say this much - I've had the current grinder (Mazzer Mini) for about 4 years and the espresso machine (Quickmill Anita) for about 3 years. The amount that my wife and I have "saved" by not buying from coffee shops has paid for the two machines about three times over.
