First if you want to spend $28 on lunch do it just to spite big Kev.

I'm single and make about twice that figure and there is zero chance I would spend $28 on lunch let alone on any kind of recurring basis. People just need to do the little things that make them happy, if thats eating out do it.

    $28 is like two sushi rolls or two of anything really.... hell soda costs $3+ and a burger $15ish

    It's not that hard to spend a lot eating out even for lunch, it's crazy. Prices have at least doubled in the last few years since covid. Companies are making up for their lost months of profits from shutdown and terrible republican admins fucking up everything and killing regulations and any safeguards or anything consumer friendly. 80% beef costs twice what 95% used to years ago and it's not stocked anymore

    For me the issue is for a five day work week it's $540 a month, and that's say a downpipe for my car, for me thats more important.

    We're all grown ups so spend your money where you think it will improve your life. When I was Gen Z's age I spent more than I should on car stuff because cars are my thing.

    Oh for sure and wouldn't eat like that daily. Just doing is very easy to spend that much eating out even for lunch or breakfast not even dinner

    I also think paying over 300/ month on a car is crazy and people getting 8 year loans right now is insane

    1. I’m single and make about twice that figure and there is zero chance I would spend $28 on lunch let alone on any kind of recurring basis.

    2. People just need to do the little things that make them happy, if thats eating out do it.

    How can you suggest 2. If you believe 1.? It's twice as unreasonable if somebody makes $70,000 and even more for the majority who makes less.

    Eating out once in a while is a little thing. Spending $28 on lunch every day is not a little thing anymore.
