A tiny win from Buenos Aires that made my week on a budget
I had a disappointing first try, a surprisingly good second try, and then a third attempt that taught me humility. So, naturally, I now have opinions.

I love this. It feels practical without pretending life is neat. This is where I would ask one more question before choosing.

Really good advice, and it feels doable. I used to overcomplicate this constantly.

This depends heavily on budget, time and personality. This would have saved me a lot of trial and error.

The budget angle is what sold me. I am curious whether street still feels good next month.

That would annoy me more than it helped. The awkward constraint is probably the real story.
