[quote=Anonymous]We eat out 2-3 a week, usually once or twice as a family (take out) and sometimes once for lunch dh and I when we wfh since it’s hard to go out in evening alone with little kids. I know we could save a lot if we ate out only once a week or not at all but I feel like it’s our own only splurge and we are pretty frugal otherwise. Don’t spend on housecleaners, wear handmedowns for kids, dont go out that much, etc. We can afford it (fund retirement, childcare, 529s, donate to charity) but I still feel guilty. How do I get over it? I think I should bc 1) I love food 2) I love not cooking 3) eating out is big part of dh and I’s relationship !). Also doing my part to help the economy like a good American. Still, my child of immigrant upbringing associates deprivation w virtue. And now I want to hit up a buffet! :D[/quote]
