What’s “the city”? New York? DC? Cleveland? LA? Dallas?

And what is your definition of eating out? Is that an Egg McMuffin and coffee from McD’s, a scone and latte at Starbucks, a sit-down dinner at a diner? For lunch, is that food from a cart or cafeteria or a sit-down meal? What is your typical food budget if you work in the city and eat out for breakfast and lunch?

If your friend has the budget to eat out to his taste, then it’s really not your business or problem. If your friend is spending too much, he’ll figure it out soon enough.

For some people, it’s worth the convenience and they’ll scrimp in other areas. Other people would rather make their own food and splurge on having a cleaning service.
