yeah the thing that really seems to consistently kill budgets, that offers no real lasting benefit, is eating out

at least over-buying "stuff" does leave a tangible item in your possession. eating out? no

vacations are somewhat similar, but those experiences actually do last. it takes a legitimately amazing meal to rival that sort of experience, and i imagine most of these meals should be a part of said vacations

I struggle with this sometimes and I'm pretty good about not eating out when I'm single but I'm quickly reminded how damn expensive it is when I start dating again and that tap drops. haha

Yeah, I'm no stranger to dining out..But we do it as a social activity, not as the sole means of feeding ourselves.

Its crazy the amount of people whose only source of food is takeout. The money you have to spend for that is just so incredibly absurd. Even if you don't know how to cook, the grocery store is filled with items already made for you and still less expensive than takeout. And you don't have to get in your car and make a trip every single time you want something to eat.
