    My jobs don’t have “work as long as you like” schedules. You work until the day is done - even if you’d rather be cooking. I’m up at 5 to start the day and don’t get home until 8 or 9 most nights. With so little time at home, I don’t have 30 minutes to dedicate to cooking.

    Yeah - I could spend my weekend cooking and cleaning, but then my life would entirely be working or prepping for the week in which I’ll be working. I need to have some time that’s for me.

      You can meal prep on one of your days off. Would take an hour or two. Then you’re set for the week and off the fast junk food that’s bleeding you dry

        I have, on several occasions, realized I was waiting longer for ‘fast food’ than it takes to make the food myself at a quarter the price. ‘Fast food’ is no longer fast or cheap, which were pretty much the only two things it had going for it.
