Anyone regret getting into it?

Anyone here that got into the rabbit hole as a beginner to later find out it was not for them? How was your experience? What changed your mind?

I’m (still) hesitant to get into this hobby and I cannot justify the amount of money that I’m going to spend.

UPDATE: thanks everyone for your comments, this community is huge, wow. I have just purchased a new Bambino Plus which was 100$ off.
