True. Time, more than money is wealth.
Earning $50k per year working 20 hrs a week may be better than earning $95k working 60 hrs a week.
I cook a lot, and love to cook at home, using fresh vegetables, lentils and legumes, constantly aware of the fact that it is such a luxury to be able to cook and eat at home. Fast food and pizzas are so cheap, for someone starved of time, it can be the only option, to make ends meet, in terms of time.
I have been in that situation of living on fast food for more than a year, and have been grateful to be out of such poverty of time, which has slowly yielded benefits in health, and monetary wealth.
- mrob 8y agoIf you have a freezer, you can save a lot of time substituting frozen vegetables for fresh. The texture is often inferior, but nutritionally they're just as good if not better, because they're picked in peak condition instead of early for longer shelf life. They're usually sold pre-chopped, and you can buy them infrequently in bulk. You can also save a lot of time using an automatic electric pressure cooker. Frozen vegetables can be cooked at the same time as dried grains and legumes, and the timer won't start until the correct temperature is reached, so there's no need to defrost the vegetables first. The pressure cooker will cook things faster than a conventional cooker, but the biggest time saving is from the automation, allowing you to run it unattended.
