Yeah it adds up quick. A family of four and all four drive and have the Sonic app can be expensive. If each person goes 3x a week and spends say $7 each time, that's 3x7x4x4 is $336 a month for Sonic drinks and snacks, and most people spend more than $7 a visit lol. If they like Starbucks or any of the other coffee places, that's easily another $300 month minimum. Smoker? Pack a day smoker is over $300 a month lol. A grand a month for bad habits lol. I didn't get into the beer habit lol.The people I know that eat out all the time do it out of laziness and not the food quality. It’s not as bad now that Ellie’s not home, but my wife has been guilty of it when I’m out of town.
My wife hates cooking, and I don’t mind it and make at least three fourths of what we eat.
$7.25/40hrs week minimum wage in OK is about $900 a month take home.
