Any necessity of life.
Any inelastic commodity.

Edit:
Upon rereading, I totally missed the spirit in which the question was asked. Whoops lol

House fire.

(That's a lie, I'm not and I live in an apartment, but I plan on prepping for it)

Not sure if youre only asking Americans, but in case this is for everyone:

I'm doing pretty well.
Could probably scrape by for a year if my wife and I both lost our jobs.

Mainly lucked into success:
My boss from a summer job when I was in college knew the boss of an internship I was applying for, and put in a good word for me.
They hired me upon graduation, but went under shortly after, however a large company was on a hiring spree right at that time and I landed a job there with a hefty pay bump.
Then I got laid off there right as a local startup was on a hiring spree to increase their valuation because they were looking to be acquired by a major high-tech company, and they hired me, again with a hefty pay bump.
They got acquired, and I started working on a team based on San Francisco. Because wages here were so much lower than the bay area, they were throwing raises at me because it was pennies to them.
I've been there for over 10 years.

As long as AI doesn't make my job redundant, I'll be good for the foreseeable future.

I like purple, but in a kitchen it seems like a bad choice. It makes it look like a toy kitchen set, kinda.

And there is some kind of dichotomy about the floors that is off-putting. I love the look, but its like if it can't decide if it's trying to be elegant or bold, and it kinda doesn't pull off either. Like... The fake marble McMansion isn't a great vibe, but unique natural pattern with bold colors is cool af.

Man you had some fancy McDonalds!
But I do agree there is something about this that makes it look like a toy kitchen set.

NGL the epoxy floor and countertops look sick.
But it's just way too much purple for a kitchen, or any room really

The steam deck isn't powerful enough for what I want:
This is also going to serve as my main computer, so it's going to spend like 95% of the time docked to an eGPU, external monitor, and mouse/keyboard. I mess around with unreal engine and do software development, so I want more ram than the steam deck currently provides.

I'm planning to get a handheld gaming computer and install one of the open source Linux gaming distros on it, like ChimeraOS or Bazzite

It's hard to find a very of any variety that isn't a raving douche
