But you're right, one way to really control the spending is to think how much that money will be if you invest it. Gosh, I don't think I'll be eating out for lunch anytime soon!

That way the salad doesn't get soaked in the dressing before you eat it.

I also pay it off every month, so its essentially free money. Two years ago I found out that I had spent about $6,000 on eating out. On the flip side, we did get $427 back at the end of the year!

Actually as I mentioned I've been much better recently. @No Debt Plan: I have found there's only one way to eat healthy if you go out frequently, which is to become a whiny jerk. In the last few weeks I've been trying to cut back on carbs and I just refuse absolutely to participate in any departmental activities that are carb-heavy. @Mrs. Micah: $1300 is a lot although if you saw my $5 salad today you'd realize that an average of $6.50 per day in New York is not exactly buying the filet mignon, so short of bringing food I'm doing well. Today, I had lettuce, shredded carrots, sunflower seeds, olive oil, and some lentils. $5. Argh... @42: Haha :) and ewww :) Actually, you inspired me – I had tuna fish for dinner.

I was wondering where the heck you'd been eating. And thinking that we made a little bit over twice that this year (since I was a student for the first half). Crazy. But even $1300 is a lot.

So it looks like I spend a lot too -- on my AMEX Blue Cash. But I don't really have a choice... eating healthy with clients is hard, too. I have to take 2-3 clients out to breakfast/lunch per week.
