Don't have one, don't have space to have one, don't have money to get one, don't have any hope to ever get a place with one. Just like evergrowing amount of people.
Get a cook top. Even nice ones are like 100 bucks. Even induction ones and compatible pans are cheap. Five or six fast food visits and you could've bought enough to cook a massive variety of cheap meals.
But this is the main problem. It's boots theory all over. For people living paycheck to paycheck the calculation of "if I don't eat for a week I can invest into myself" doesn't sound as appealing as for people who can afford to do a little bit of savings.
Thankfully, I'm in pretty good position, I don't live in US, so my diet consists of food, not of sugar and sawdust. I do have an induction cooktop, and can confirm it's indeed amazing. My enormous privilege aside, I would like to some day get into the oven territory.
That really blows. Are you living in one of those chinese/japanese domiciles that are essentially just cages for people?
Sardine-culture aside, perhaps you can try an air fryer. I honestly have never used one, but it seems like something people would recommend as a replacement and they take up a fraction of the space.
Not really, at least couple of steps above, it's 30 square meters overall. It's nice for me, but the kitchen is too small to have such luxuries as an oven.
A toaster oven can do most things that a full-sized oven can do.
