I finally argued with my dad about his 'beans and rice every night' plan
He visited last week and said, 'If you're broke, just eat beans and rice, it's under a dollar a meal.' That hit different because it ignores how boring and sad that gets after three days straight. What's a cheap meal you actually look forward to cooking?

That advice misses how soul crushing a food routine can be. A cheap box of pasta with a fried egg and garlic powder feels like a real meal.

Garlic powder on cheap pasta with an egg is basically a meal that feels like comfort food.

People forget how much a single cheap spice can change a whole week of meals. A bag of lentils with some curry powder and an onion feels way more exciting than plain beans. It costs maybe a quarter more but actually makes you want to eat it.
