27. Cooking Is Useful For Everyone
Learning to cook is a transformative skill that pays dividends not just in savings, but in health and personal satisfaction. Many, including myself, discover the joys of cooking later in life, only to wish they had started sooner. Cooking at home allows you to craft meals that cater exactly to your taste preferences, at a fraction of the cost of eating out or buying pre-made food.
The process is inherently fun, creative, and experimental, mirroring the enriching qualities of the best hobbies. The benefits are immediate: more disposable income for leisure and a noticeable improvement in physical well-being. Cooking is more than a life skill—it’s a pathway to a healthier, richer lifestyle.
