Here's some business talk for you OP
Buy enough ingredients to make a batch of pasta
Add the cost of those ingredients together
Time how long it takes you to make that batch of pasta
Measure how many pounds of pasta you created
Multiple the time it took you to make the pasta by minimum wage (or however much money you think one hour of your life is worth)
Add that number to the cost of ingredients
Divide that final number with the pounds of pasta you made
Here's an example
>Cost of ingredients = $5
>Time to make pasta = 2 hours
>Pounds of pasta made = 5
>2 hours of time x $7.50 = $15
>$15 + $5 = $20 total cost you have sunk into making the pasta
>$20 / 5 = $4
It costs you $4 to make one pound of pasta. So you need to sell each pound of pasta for more than $4 to turn a profit.
If you cannot sell pasta at a higher price than it costs you to make the pasta, you shouldn't bother.

>Therefore it's the fault of Millennials we are doing poorly
>It's not our fault we refuse to change and cater to our new demographics
>Let's just insult them, that'll work

I'm the first guy because my family isn't fucking retarded and they're all decent cooks. Everyone brings the same food every year, but who cares when it's all 10/10?
I've got the aunt who brings the deviled eggs that aren't really deviled but they're still tasty, the aunt with the potato casserole, the drunk uncle who always brings two buckets of KFC, the uncle who brings sweet tea that's too sweet and regular tea that tastes like water, the aunt who brought a whole turkey + stuffing no matter if it was easter or christmas or halloween or thanksgiving, etc.
It's comfy.
