My money vanishes. Like magic. Except it’s not magic (it’s) my home economy bleeding out. You feel it too.

I tried smart home tech once. It broke in three days. You probably have too. Or you looked at the setup screen and closed the app instead.

Saving money at home feels impossible sometimes. I know because I’ve been there (staring) at the same bills every month, wondering where it all goes.

I used to think home tech was just for people who owned robot vacuums and argued about Wi-Fi mesh networks. Turns out I was wrong.

You’ve heard the word Ththometech. Maybe in a meeting. Maybe on a Slack thread. Maybe while pretending to nod along. It sounds important.

I used to stare at my smart plug like it owed me money. It blinked. I blinked back. Nothing happened. You know that feeling.
