I’ve seen questions/posts on this site - how do people who work hard to make ends meet, pay their taxes, pay rent/mortgages/car payments, send children to school, etc., afford to eat out (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) every day? I read this on this section and see this at work? How?
I agree with so many posts. I take my lunch to work — I even take my coffee in a small thermos or tea bags. :)

    That may be why credit card debt is at an all time high. They really can’t afford it so they charge what they need and figure they will deal with it in the future.

    They are not managing their money wisely. Nor their health, if they are eating a lot at KFC and McDonalds.

    I know what you mean. I have to say I do treat my self to a Starbucks every now and then, but I couldn’t afford it every day. Beside all that food is so bad fofr your body.

    Trust me, they don’t realize how much money their wasting being lazy and not cooking at home. Gross. I’d vomit eating that crap everyday. And I’m definitely not going to pay four dollars for a cup of joe that’s going to have me running to the bathroom after I drink it. That’s what happened the last time I got a caramel macchiato.

    Becasue some of us are wealthy, and I don’t know who would eat that kind of junk food everyday.

    I dunno, but it adds up fast. I’m guilty of that because I go to work everyday with an hour and a half for lunch. I don’t bring my own food because I take the train, have books, laptop, etc. So I go to all the local places and spend like $30 to 40 a week. I’m surprised I’m not broke and fat.

    I’m always amazed by the statistics of how often people eat out in general! How do they do it? I could never get out of McD or a similar place for less than $20 for the 4 of us. That money would stretch through a lot more, and more nutritious, meals. I never bought coffee and doughnuts on the road like so many people do. I brought my lunch to work. I can count on one hand how many times we ordered pizza delivered.

    They are too damned lazy to prepare a nutritious meal. Why eat at home when you can get bad, fat-saturated, calorie-loaded food out?

    Most people can’t. The ones that do eat at those places daily, haven’t added up the cost of what they are spending and what that money could do for them if they invested it for the future.

    I used to go to fast food restaurants four to five times a week, boy do I wish I had invested that money instead. At the time it was just ten dollars a day, but that adds up fast.

    I know, huh! Not only those places, but the parking lots are always full at Olive Garden, Red Lobster, Outback, etc. How do people afford to eat out so much?
