What's funny is 10-15 years ago all the articles were "How this young couple bought their dream house by age 25!" And then listed all the corners they were cutting with groceries or lattes or whatever.
But the ACTUAL secret four or five paragraphs in would always be a throwaway line about how their family member (usually parents) let them stay in the spare room, wing, or house while they saved money. AND helped them with the mortgage, car payments, child care, or health insurance.

It's not a secret, super-creative loophole. It's that owning land and a house and having additional money on top of that gives you more options. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Repeatedly seeing articles like "They built their parents a cottage in their back yard so they could retire in comfort!" Ok, so what you're saying is "people with money can afford to do things that save money!" I know. I already know.

I've been trying to make batches of foods on the weekend because my week work days are long and I just can't cook (or do anything tbh) after work at 8 or 9 pm.
Ran out of time over the weekend and didn't get everything cooked that I planned, trying to catch up now before the heaviest days. I have several items fridged now and can throw on a slow-cooker spaghetti at lunch one day.

I had some leftover chicken I needed to use up so I made two batches of tamales, one with barbecue chicken and beans, and one with curry chicken and lentil rice.
The barbecue batch is getting good reviews so far. Essentially barbecue chicken and beans in cornbread.
