That's the definition of luxury and discretionary spending

I used it when I was working 100 hour weeks and wanted to spend every hour after 9 pm too stoned and drunk to move. It was an expensive luxury, but also the one maintaining me at the stress level where I wouldn’t want to kill myself. I’d order enough to split over multiple days so it wasn’t as obscene.

Been there... Working like that with right...

But yeah when you are in that situation, food out is the least of your concern when you can have a metal break down at any point.

Cooking for your self is can be seen a luxury too nowadays I guess... Look at that peasant with all that free time to cook!
