im in the same boat. I have a toddler son with another baby coming any day now. While I don’t own a business I do work my 40 hours, cook, clean (because my very pregnant wife doesn’t need to do that after watching our toddler all day) then I try to find time to study for classes to move up in my current job.
…….. but damn do I love photography.
What really gave me motivation was to work on a series of pieces that relate to each other and have more of a message. Since I shoot film, there’s costs to that as well as props, backgrounds, etc, so it’s taken me a bit of time. But while I wait, I keep a “photo idea” note on my phone and write down new shoots to look forward to.
It’s tough to do it all though, I feel ya.

The best $25 I spend every month. Literally pays for itself if you see one movie
plus if I see a bad movie I don’t feel like I wasted money

I recently watched The Monkey for free at Chicago's Music Box Theatre — and even stuck around for Perkin's Q&A session. I have to say, it was the best movie-going experience I've ever had. An organist played the score with diabolical cymbals in the background — come on! And the movie was hilarious and equal parts gory!

Going to the movies rocks. this was honestly such a hard question. This isn’t exactly the ~best~ movie but it is a great movie to see in a theater
From like 19-20 going to the Landmark in Westwood to see the Room with my friends rocked. The Room is such a funny bad movie and it’s even better at this theater because of all the canned responses the audience has to the shit happening on screen. its similar to how campy people get with Rocky Horror Picture Show. People throw plastic spoons and loudly jeer at the movie. occasionally Tommy Wiseau and maybe Greg Sestero will show up and you can take a pic. Highly recommend pregaming and then going with your friends at least once
sometimes a specific audience for it will suck but overall it was always pretty fun.
