Having a shitty commute is illegal?

You work until the day is done - even if you'd rather be cooking. I'm up at 5 to start the day and don't get home until 8 or 9 most nights. With so little time at home, I don't have 30 minutes to dedicate to cooking.

Yeah - I could spend my weekend cooking and cleaning, but then my life would entirely be working or prepping for the week in which I'll be working. I need to have some time that's for me.

That's $40 per hour after tax, which if you work full time puts you in the top 20% richest Americans.

Even if you can't share appliances with friends or neighbors, a stove, pan, microwave, and fridge combined cost only a couple months' profit up front. Save up $400 one time and in five years you'll have $5000 more than if you keep buying takeout.

(I'm assuming you cook for multiple meals at once and put the remainder in the fridge/freezer)

Groceries are 3x-4x cheaper than eating/ordering out.
