Candles can't dehumidify a room because they burn hydrocarbons and produce moisture when you light them. If a candle were to reduce mold, it would be because it burnt something toxic to the mold.

And radiators dont cause mold? The heat and moisture may give the mold perfect growing conditions, but the moisture is what you want to get rid of. Use vents, fans, open a window, air out the house, use a dehumidifier.

Burning a candle to prevent mold is a shitty tip.

It does, except when crap happens. And yeah keep a financial savings as well but keep in mind it can take 2-6 months right now between dropping off a resume and getting that first paycheck.

And then factor in things such as covid and social political turmoil and even a 90 day supply of food does seem a bit small in that big picture.
