I'm by far not an MMM convert yet... I still drive too much, own too much disposable electronics, eat out too much, etc etc. But I'm trying.
Back on topic, this past Friday I was invited to an NBA game... so cool let's go, haven't been to one in like a yr.
Terrible snack foods - $35
4 Beers - $50
omg, $85 on the terrible food... beer was meh (tiny). Just looking around, people throwing money left and right and just terrible overpriced food/drinks, actually amazes me that people can do this on a regular basis, unless they are making over 100k/yr. That game was fine and enjoyable. I honestly felt so outta place it was an odd feeling. My past self would have probably not blinked an eye at a $200 bill.
The money wasn't a big deal, I think it's the premise of Money Efficiency vs Enjoyable Experience. Few days back I invited a few buds over for a game on my big screen... homecooked some pizza and opened some beers and had a fantastic night for under $50 for 4 people.
