Partner and I had just finished school and gotten really good paying jobs, we saved enough money to buy a house and new car and truck. I bought myself a new used truck to haul materials and products when fixing up the new house! 🙏
When I lived in the u.s. and bought my first home, I had similar concerns as you as we were about to buy a lot of high end products to furnish our new home (a new car, dishwasher, vacuum, etc..).
We bought a subscription to "consumer reports" (https://www.consumerreports.org/). They test all types of products and give detailed reports on each product.
They also listed some products as "do not buy" for whatever flaws a product may have - this convinced me further as there didn't seem to be any partiality.
We ended up making many purchases, all price ranges up to the price of a new car, based on their recommendations and don't remember having any post purchase issues.
I don't know if this can be accessed from your region nor if it covers any brands local to Australia, but it did cover a lot of imported products to the u.s. from Europe and Asia - hopefully this may help you as well.
I feel like that's most of my problems, not "showing up" and being present. Just showing up is like the hardest part, and once done, I find my tasks and responsibilities are half done!
I was working 60+ hours a week chasing promotions, pay raises, and bonuses. Then I'd have to read and study a couple of hours at night to stay current.
I finished reading the second book almost a month ago. I don't have the urge to start the third anytime soon (though I eventually will so as to get that 'closure').

The sugar and high fructose corn syrup in food. I am currently back in the states visiting and the food is almost sickening sweet.
I am saddened by your loss.
I am of similar ages and anniversary years, and your post resonates strongly with me.
I pray you find whatever you need to deal with this. I am so sorry.
Seed ID?

Burned myself out. So not worth it.
Thanks for the review. Added to 'to Read's list.
It's a good place to be.
That is cute! I need to send this to my sister!

"Two birds with one stone"...

I think we are all inherently selfish & ignorant, and I don't its fair to judge others by what they did \ didn't do for their children.
Our two cats are named Peter and Paul. We intend on getting a female tabby and naming her Mary.
Your cute puppy looks like a Marissa. I love popular human names for pets!
What about his background do you find concerning?
ooo, I went to the Framework website. When I get a some 'disposable' cash, I will get a framework lappy.
Debian and Fedora, Debian and Fedora. That is a lot of the recommendations I've gotten.
