How I pick: The Captain's Cabin
Every pick on this site is labeled Owned, Used for years, or Shortlist, and that label is not decorative:
- Owned means I bought it with my own money and it is in my apartment. If I have not put it to work yet, the card says so.
- Used for years means I owned it and relied on it in the past, even if it is not in the apartment today.
- Shortlist means I have not bought it. The card says why it fits a real gap I have, not a claim of experience I do not have.
No paid placements
Nothing on this site is a paid placement, a sponsored post, or a swap for a free product. If that ever changes for a specific pick, it will say so on the card, not bury it in a footer.
