[quote=Anonymous]So, let's say he is spending $50 a night. Is that close? If he goes out 50 weeks a year that is less than $20,000 per year. It's a lot but if he's not buying as much in groceries (only buying for one and buying breakfast/lunch) and doesn't have other expensive hobbies, and his finances are in order, I think this is fine and actually really good for him to get out every day and be social. As for the food, it's really not your business to tell him what to eat. You could encourage him to order some healthier options, but honestly, even if he was eating at home, would it be any healthier? Older folks eat what they want to eat. They earned it. If you want him to spend less and eat healthier, invite him to your house, but honestly, he may prefer his restaurants. Maybe he's trying to meet friends or possibly someone to date?[/quote]
