I tried starting with making stuff out of paracord. Bracelets, key chains Relatively inexpensive as you need paracord, storm lighter and some clips.
Lots of tutorials on youtube.
I enjoy cooking. Finding recipes by reading and watching shows. I initially a bit expensive to get all the stock spices and ingredients. Also a decent knife and pans. But rewarding as you get to eat it. Also a path to a healthier life with less processed food (less salt among other things) and more greens. Can be an incentive to socialize more as well if you want to.
I also play Flames of War and Team Yankee. Building models and then painting them. Can be done with podcasts and shows on in the background. Bonus is that you can play with them.
Earning the right to better equipment is so satisfying. Like leveling up and getting to equip new gear
