How often do you justify $250-$400 dinners? The range is because I'm sure some of us have families, but given how expensive things are these days, it's so easy to rack up a $200 bill even if you're just going out with one other person. One of the only joys I have in life is going out and getting some good food and drinks, but I feel guilty when it costs as much as it does. Do you let yourself have these joys, or are you still very careful not to go overboard with expenditure on dining?

I only go out for a meal when on vacation and I don’t even splurge anymore. Just good food in Japan, Thailand, Italy, Portugal, etc. the rest of the year we cook our own meals and try to recreate meals from our travels. Probably dorky but it works for us.

I honestly fall into the same category of only finding real joy when I go out. I used to think that made me shallow but I don't think there's anything wrong with it anymore. Some people's lives end up being about work for the most part so dining and fine dining being the great relaxer is more than fine according to me, I have these dinners maybe twice a month. More if there are occassion but I don't hold back.

Don’t need those meals often at all! It’s nice for a celebration but not necessary to do often.
