| Am I burning money by spending $20 on lunch 3+ days/week? |

| If you watch Succession you will see that they often unpack egg salad sandwiches wrapped in Saran wrap. |

| Not sure I'm in the "rich" category but definitely UMC. I would bring lunch most days and eat out at most once per week. Partly due to money and partly due to being healthy. |

| DH brings lunch not because we can't afford to buy it, but because it's much healthier and fewer calories than eating out multiple times per week. It's a health-driven, not money-driven. |

It's not about money, but more about mustering up the bandwidth to prepare lunchboxes. |

Yes, so do rich people muster up that bandwidth or not? |

| DH’s job involves a company-paid for lunch every day. Mine isn’t as frequent, but it’s often. The irony of being a rich highly paid professional is that people are constantly handing you free food and other free stuff. |

They likely have a cook or a SAHW who makes their lunch for them. I doubt the rock star lawyer is slathering mayo and egg together in the morning to make egg salad while in their bespoke suit. |

You look dumb when you don't get the point. It has nothing to do with how much they can afford, but whether or not they are in situations (newborn sleep deprivation, ADHD, whatever else going on) that means they're not going to bother with preparing a lunch. Stop fixating on the money aspect. |

You guys just don't understand that "normal" people can be quite wealthy. My husband goes to work in casual clothes, drives a small Japanese car, packs his own lunch, yet we have several millions in assets. He could buy a healthy lunch at his workplace cafeteria if he wasn't so frugal. You have very inaccurate ideas of what rich really means. |
