LostCause

Close, I moved to a smaller and cheaper apartment and reduced some other costs, then I found a job where I work 30h a week.

Each month when I get my wage now I think “I bought this time and I best make use of it” and so it changed my mindset to one where I enjoy my free time a bit more, maybe cause I‘m aware of the price I pay for it.

10h a week of my life back. It cost me about 500€ a month, but it improved my mental health immensely.

I don‘t know about economics, but this is my entry to research:

And cucumber prices went up more than 50% for me in the last 2 years alone, so maybe you‘re onto something.
