Meal planning/prep helps, and buying things in bulk of course. Potatoes, rice, pasta, soup broth, tomato sauce, frozen veggies - anything that can be "stretched" to make multiple meals.

There are a few certain dishes I can't get close to in deliciousness no matter how much I try - especially butter chicken, compared to the local Indian place, it's no contest! Unfortunately that's a $30 meal with garlic naan (which is mandatory)!

Yeah it's insane when you look at cost per meal. My grocery budget is $40 per week, a bit under $6 per day or $2 per meal. So one dining experience is easily 10x my usual meal cost - very difficult to justify. And very easy to blow the week's budget on a single meal.

Income to expenses. I could afford to travel once every 2 years, buy fresh produce, order takeout or eat at a restaurant once every week or two.

No matter how much I cut down expenses the cost continues to creep up while my wages don't. I do not pay for any subscriptions and I don't drink Starbucks - just the cheapest instant coffee I can find.

Can you blame them? I feel I had more freedom 10 years ago making minimum wage than I do now with an adult job and salary. We are being milked dry and it only gets worse.

I looked it up for specs and seems like it has 16GB of RAM? Do you think that will be enough? I built my own PC in 2016 and went with 32GB to future-proof it (somewhat), and I could always upgrade if needed. I don't think you have that option with a laptop and will just be putting yourself in the same position again in the near future.

The minds of all living things on Earth are connected as one giant hivemind. The thoughts aren't an overwhelming barrage, but rather a collective experience.

I would compare the Yamaha with KRK. I bought a set last year after comparing sound and price, in person at the music shop.
