Have you seen the CPI reports? It's much cheaper to bake your own bread.

To be honest, I want to do a calculation how much it would take to live without a job but baking/cooking everything from scratch, and other simplified life things.
I feel like most retirement calculators assume you're going to be living exactly as you were, but food, transportation, many living costs are higher to save time that a job takes up. So it's partially a self-reinforcing cycle.
Instead, I think in retirement my costs would go away down, and I'd at the same time be doing things that feel meaningful, like baking my own bread. But maybe I'm delusional.
Then a book recommendation. "Make the Bread, Buy the Butter".
The author does the math on a number of products to see if one should make or buy. It factors in things like skill involved.
I like it.
I don't know how many years I rewround the clock while reading that entire paragraph but I am somewhere in the 1800s now surely. You can't afford to live without baking bread for the village? How do you survive the winter on selling bread? I mean fuck this is a travesty if there ever was one... never mind the notion that Social Security is going away
It can take a lot of time though, especially some breads like baguettes are an all day event. I know that's mostly waiting around for the yeast to fart enough but still for me it is mentally derailing to have to baby then along several times in a day
