I went out to The Yard to gather some random produce.
It turns out that The X also bought tomatoes. "Good job. You grow those things all year, and got about $1 worth of food. What did it cost to grow them?" What she doesn't know is that it didn't cost a thing. I didn't even buy seeds. I used the seeds from the tomatoes she buys in the store. The rain waters the ground. I don't do anything. Same way I have neglected fruit trees. I just pick whatever fruit is out there.
I'm sure that if I actually took care of the plants, they would yield more. But this is just fine. Zero investment. It's like living on passed down, generational wealth. Like people who receive an allowance from a trust fund which they have never contributed or invested into, and they don't manage. They get free money. I get free fruit.
