10 years ago I was working a thankless office job for one of the oldest tech companies in the world and on Fridays and me and the crew would hit a nice steak house around the corner. I would always order a 8-12 oz cut of steak with extra sautéed mushrooms on the side. Now that I eat well and cook most of my meals, that meal doesn't feel special anymore.

I certainly wouldn't pay today's steak house prices when I can make it just as well at home for a quarter of the price. Which draws the inexorable conclusion that eating out is only for "convenience" if you cant prepare your own meal or to eat junk food. To think of all the years and money I wasted on this wasteful lifestyle. If I had put that money into Bitcoin I'd be a billionaire today.
