What do you like to do on your spare time? Interview

For myself, I don't have a single hobby. I used to but the grind has sucked the life out of me. How do I go about this question in an interview? All I do is study, work, and focus on making money. That's what I actually like doing. What can I say that is believable? I don't like bullshitting so I don't plan to say I love rockclimbing when I don't.

the problem with talking about certain hobbies is that sometimes you get grilled about why didn’t pursue them as a career. I had to try to hardcore convince my interviewers that just because I write books in my spare time, it doesn’t mean I’m gonna jump ship at the first chance to get published. it’s a hobby lol.
