50 Most Popular Hobbies


Do you have any popular hobbies? When I meet someone new, one of the first questions I ask is “Whats your favorite hobby?” Most shrug and aren’t to sure they even have a hobby. They quickly divert the question back to me where I rattle off a list of the hobbies I enjoy. However, if most people took the time to think about it they would realize they have several hobbies; most of which are located on our 50 Most Popular Hobbies list.

So there we have it! The 50 most popular hobbies. How many hobbies do you have?

Unfortunately for all of us hobbies take time. The majority of Americans spend 50 hours at work slaving for a paycheck. That only leaves about 20 hours a week for a hobby or in most of our cases a list of hobbies. With only 20 hours its best to choose popular hobbies you can do in parallel.

For instance you could pack up the family and take them camping. At the campsite you could swim, fish, read ghost stories, go hunting for dinner (since you didn’t catch any fish), cook up your fresh squirrel, and take a quick hike before it gets to dark. Around the campfire you could play some music and get some much needed sleep. If I counted correctly you’d have done 20% of the 50 most popular hobbies all in one weekend!
