I'm an addict. If it's not the phone it's going to be something else.

I wonder if I would be like this if I had money for hobbies.

Depending on where you live and what you like to do you can get involved in regular activities that don't require much money at all. You can volunteer with community groups to do all manner of jobs and projects from outdoor citizen science, to helping restore beautiful old machines, from driving people to medical appointments to taking care of historical buildings and gardens, from planting trees for wildlife to planting community vegetable and fruit gardens for community use, from visiting isolated people to volunteering with local sporting facilities and on and on... More money may come your way if you volunteer in areas related to the kind of employment you like.

Having an addictive personality can be used for doing positive activities really well.
