This is hlrondh1 (Dick H). and I'm all but new to this board but what you are getting at is right. Most of us do this for a hobby. I do it because I've had a bad heart attack and I have some other heath issues but what keeps me going each and every day is the thought of my grandchildren and my wood shop including the scroll saw that I use daily. It is relaxing and rewarding to see projects become gifts for the kids and watch the smiles on their faces. The little money that we spend on blade is secondary.
