I have known too many friends who are broke and complain how they can’t afford this and that bill, yet they spend $20 on take out, lunch and other meals. It annoys me that they do this often. Look if you’re broke and can’t cook or have no time, you eat peanuts from the dollar store, Costco hotdogs or value meals for $5 from Wendy at most. Can someone explain me this phenomenon? Sure taste is important but it can’t be compared to every other necessity.
