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.
I hear thermite is good at destroying things.
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.
Have you checked out The Expanse series? I think it’s 8 primary books, with like 4 optional novellas. Its not exactly what you’re looking for, but it does deal with some of what you’re interested in. It was also turned into a pretty good TV show.
Become overwhelmed and do nothing. This was not a problem prior to having children though. In the before time I’d go train in martial arts, video games with friends, etc.
