We have been very lucky and fortunate to acquire the American dream. My wife and I wouldn’t have been able to do it without the help of her family though. Every time I look at the housing market it’s only gotten crazier.

A microwave/mini oven combo (or at least ours is). Despite the name, it actually takes quite a while to preheat.

My wife and I were lucky enough to be able to purchase a home at a decent rate and then refinance a few years later to an even better rate (around 3.5%). We bought in 2019, when the world was still somewhat sane. The thought of trying to sell and get a new home at the higher rate makes me sick to my stomach and I feel bad for my brother-in-law.

When we redid our kitchen I demanded induction. We had a shitty electric stove before, but I love my induction. It’s be hard for me to go back to anything else.

I’m planning on building a new rig for Xmas and am gonna go Linux for my desktop OS for the first time.
