For some reason for better or worse I always prioritize three things job ,education , and buying a house brbrI was able to buy my first starter home using a tax return There was many things subpar about it but now I have equity and am renting it out so it is paying itself after getting a better job after 10 years of grinding on my skillsets and moving to a bigger house I am still not living comfortably so will probably need to do 10 years more of grinding brbrEating out only works when one has disposable income Buying a house early forces certain spending habits which means not being able to afford to eat out or afford the nicest car as I am making a tradeoff by buying a homebrbrMortgages are cheaper than renting but there are hidden costs such as higher utilities and required maintenance for older homes brbrI think the eating out or going on frivolous vacations can make sense for a certain person but once one is married it is not fully one's choice anyway and it is not too good for the economy if everyone adopted minimalism

I agree with all of this as Im very frugal But there are things that people should have genuine concerns with Microwavable foods are most often in plastic containers that leak scientifically proven, toxins directly in to your food at room temperature which is far less than what its being heated to Yeah its nice to have a $3 meal but that hospital bill down the road will use up all of those savings and that meal is cheap for a reason

Great video You guys are too kind “ maybe we’re too busy or tired after a long day of work” What’s the word I’m looking for? What seems to come to mind oh, lazy😁
Comment from : @billirons6277

What a great video I find also that I not only save money eating at home, but I also get to choose exactly what I want, the portion I want, season just the way I want and less junk additives added into my foods I know I am eating healthier
Comment from : @billirons6277

Thanks for the video I think one thing that you might consider mentioning is all that money you’re saving for your child’s or children’s college is pretty much wasted these days It’s not only wasted, It’s doing the opposite What it’s doing is not giving your child or children a proper education, but an indoctrination That’s right parents The Democratic Party has infiltrated our schools and university systems for the purpose of indoctrination And you’re paying for it That’s my two centsbrI still love your videos They’re very informative

We stopped going out to eat a few months ago and it's not only reduced our spending exponentially but also increased our health!
Comment from : @kityzsRULE

not everyone knows how to cook, and eating at a fastfood is way cheaper than restaurants
Comment from : @EternaMaxx

I had to look at when this was published because the prices were so low It’s hard to find entrees for less than $30 now
Comment from : @anemoneii

I just dont eat, fasting saves me money :p

Restaurants are crap the food is crap it’s seed oils and soybeans and corn and cheap ingredients even at “nicer” places I can cook my steaks at home in butter and know what’s going on my food

Kids are the biggest reason that keeps you poor
Comment from : @mathew3267

As a single 32 year old who pretty much as the bars and the apps to rely on for dating potential, you kind of have to go out and spend money Eating at home saves money but they ensures you will still be alone
Comment from : @thefeelingofunfair4052

One day I realized that buying steak at the grocery store and cooking it at home was the same price as the cheapest burger you can find at restaurants and my diet hasn't been the same since Once I learned about sales schedules, reduced prices near "Sell by" dates, and "nutrient density" of foods (shoutout to Optimising Nutrition) I am eating a whole heck of a lot of meat and seafood from the grocery store
Comment from : @TheSpecialJ11

This sounds good but most of the processed food you buy to save time is going to wreck your health, so the money you save from going out will go to medical bills

"Grocery prices holding steady"my my how things have changed in 5 years lol you guy deffinitly need to do an updated version of this video with 2025 numbers!!
Comment from : @Someguy123-z8n

You want to be careful of microwavable food as many of them contain excessive amounts of salt and sugar and often don't make you full due to a lack of nutrients One of the benefits of certain restaurant meals is that they're filling and have a better quality of food (depending on what you order) And you can bring a reusable container for leftovers Of course, cooking is the best long term solution
Comment from : @floralwitch

We rarely go out to eat, but when we do all of us only order tap water as a beverage and go for the lunch menu for dinner since those are typically smaller portions at slightly lower costs We eat a dessert at home after we get back from the restaurant rather than ordering dessert there

I always get water and lemon and try to share my main course

i don't think students loan are fixed, they have interest on students loan
Comment from : @ToomeyH

I came to this conclusion myself I'm a teenager, so still pretty stupid with money, I got a budget tacker software running the other day Most of my money (after savings) goes on eating out An embarrassingly high amount of money Mum was right, there is still food at home

7 is such an unrealistic interest expectation
Comment from : @nateanderson2959

I almost never eat out because I'm not willing to spend that much money, and it's made it hard to make friends because so many people want to get to know each other by going to restaurants

Very interesting video Nicely done Good facts Good tips I love her outfit Is that an Indian Kurti?

"Poor" is having very little money in a monetary societythere are people who blow thousands of dollars a week at casinos and spend absurd amounts of money on lottery tickets and still happens to have alot of currencythese people are addicts
Comment from : @OnePlusOneEqualTwo000

I get the strict realistic practicality of this advice, but also politely, I'm done with this "poor blaming" mentality There is no reason why two people who work full time and don't have children need to worry about the cost of eating at an average restaurant a couple times a week But we do Because we're being kept down by ridiculously low wages I'm tired of seeing sources tell me the reason I'm poor is because I got take out The reason we're poor is because we're not being paid Period
Comment from : @memery2781

I grew up in Asia so eating out options were so diverse, one could easily find good quality food for a nickle Living abroad as an international student has taught me to cook at home, but the major milestone when I grew into a talented cook and baker wasn't my hospitality education, but the fact that it's so pricey here to eat out If I like something, I most likely try to find a way to replicate that dish at homebrbrAND YET, today, 2025, I - a mid-senior professional earning a decent Swiss salary - still find dining out in the States so freaking expensive! I regularly visit my family in the US and it's horrifying to see how dining out now is actually almost at the same as in Switzerland - and most folks who fill those restaurants don't necessarily have that kind of salary How do you guys afford all that??

Earing out at restaurants once a month is fair Don't be addicted to drinking and eating out The saved money can be used to invest in the stock market 😅

Stop shaming me for loving the artistry of local chefs ☹️
Comment from : @storebrandryan

I am gonna decrease the number of eating out But eating out in a restaurant is more delicious than cooking at home
Comment from : @MichaelDo1234

This video perpetuates such a falsehood that the reason so many are poor is because they buy too much takeout You dont think that assets like houses becoming disproportionately expensive might be a greater reason?
Comment from : @David-qz7fx

5 years later in early 2025things are worse Good luck to us all ✨😊✨

You can only save this much if you teach yourself from childhood that wasting money is useless
Comment from : @indian3021

I eat at home food that I cook myself and I am still poor Explain that
Comment from : @ВаняПанчмен

Once you have children, forget about going out for a couple of decades
Comment from : @Suburp212

In addition to splitting an entre, just drink water But we actually plan to bring our leftovers home to get the convenience factor for a second meal after the luxury aspect for the first meal We don't buy soda or juice for the house, so when we go out once or twice a week, it's a treat we allow ourselves brAnother tip is to order off the appetiser menu or customise your meal with your fave sides rather than getting a giant main dish you may not even like Especially if you're a leftover snob Better yet, don't be a leftover snob ;)

You forgot the "Tips"
Comment from : @Ferdinand

for me it's "Eating keeps you poor and alive" 😅
Comment from : @Laxmikanthb1

I can't justify going out, not because of the price but because of the quality of the food I cook very well, and obviously it suits my tastes to a tee Pretty much every restaurant I go to I'm disappointed by the food Desserts are usually the exception lol

Chew a gum everyday so that you can save money

Comment from : @ajitp3756

Guys, cooking at home could save more than $4 per person I cooked a pan of pasta for just $10 for 5 pseron portion Unless you're talking about including transport costs(to and fro supermarket, which could be easily be zeroed by cycling) and energy costs to cook the food(the electricity used for the induction stove)
Comment from : @tanalson

Did you know that most of the money you spend on eating out pays the landlords? The business owners get 5-7 net profit(if they are lucky no machinery breaks down or any sudden huge expense needed) and provided they are using fresh ingredients( profit margins could be increased by using frozen fish and seafood,frozen vegetables, make everything in-house)
