"Why should I invest in a bread maker when I seldom eat bread?"

Among other things, because you have the time. It could be that one or more of your neighbors who has neither the time, ability, or inclination would be in the market for regular supplies of fresh bread. Particularly specialty breads, such as with inexpensive flavorings or ingredients.

Someone, perhaps, who may have other skills to trade for the bread. Mechanical ability, or even just simple labor for the tasks you find too arduous to do alone.

Or perhaps fresh vegetables in season, or other garden produce.

The basic rule is, do what you find fun or easy to do, and exchange that for things that you find difficult to acquire. Rest assured, your President does not have this rudimentary appreciation for basic economics!

Ai-yi-yi!

Some days, Bob, it’s an effort to get out of bed, much less cook for myself. And some days, when I can get up, I can’t get the energy together to take a shower.

On the days when I DO feel good, I make myself sick by trying to get all the things done that day that I haven’t felt well enough to do for the last month.

I’ve eliminated some of the work by using disposable dishware.

But it IS a good idea!
