Just to clarify, have you ever worked a 58 hour week with an additional ten hours commuting? I think you’re underestimating the mental fatigue involved with that much work and how difficult it can be to find energy to buy groceries and keep a kitchen stocked after that.
This isn’t the pity Olympics. I can tell you that I was self-employed while a full-time student, making random 200+ mile trips for work all hours of the day, “working” probably 80+ hours a week and sleeping every chance I got, but I don’t think you’d believe or care. A 20lb bag of rice is like $15 at most. If you’re actually poor and actually have no time, then you can’t afford to do anything but prepare your own food.
I’m glad you had the fortitude after working 80 hours to drive hundreds of miles and cook yourself a meal - personally, I didn’t and I don’t think most people would have.
