While maybe not super cost friendly, I second the meal box angle. I wasn’t bad at cooking, but was definitely super slow with knife skills, not comfortable with some stovetop methods of cooking, etc. We used Hello fresh and Plated (before they went out of business), and that really springboarded us into feeling like we could cook. Haven’t ordered any meal boxes in like 5 years now, and make homemade dinners 4+ times a week.
I like Diarium, journaling once a day has helped me feel like I’m not “wasting” my days doing nothing. I started out with just 2 or 3 sentences at first, and now I’m writing down frustrating bits, cool interactions, or sometimes still just a laundry list of what I did. It helps me feel like I’m not just floating through life.
I also like using my credit to offset the cost of the season pass in Marvel Snap once a month, but that’s more for just whatever phone game you feel deserves a few bucks now and then (if any).
