The secret to stress-free cooking at home
Fast food prices rose 29% over the last 4 years and have consistently outpaced full-service restaurants and grocery stores.

The FIRE community has similar levels of untapped potential, but we’ve spent the last few years arguing about what the acronym means and whether the FI or the RE matters more.
