Another thing: we stopped going out to eat so much. That shit's expensive, especially here in Japan. I used to go out with colleagues twice a week at lunch. Now I take a packed lunch from home...a bento, if you will.

I wish more people would realize how not broke they would be if they learned how to cook instead of eating out all the time.

I don't know how to cook nor do I eat out. I've ate chicken burgers and fries for supper almost two weeks in a row now.

Here's how to cook.

1: Find a recipe that you have all the appropriate dishes to cook it with
2: Follow the recipe
3: Yum
4: Cleanup (optional)

If only I could find a recipe that requires just chicken burgers and french fries...

Literally thousands of dollars a year saved.

It's how I was able to afford craft beer in college.

Well obviously you're supposed to conjure up the food out of nothingness with the poem of the ancients to comply with whatever recipe you're using.

I agree completely. I avoid fast food like the plague and make one dining out exception - a lovely greek diner a short walk from my home. Everyone there knows me by name. I go there alone on Saturday mornings with my Chromebook and my research to get some writing done, or instead opt for a Sunday brunch in the company of friends. Either way, I walk out paying $6 for a meal, so I feel it's a worthwhile exception to the rule.

This is why you don't get pussy. Selfish asshole.
