Most you've ever spent on a meal - Jiggly - 04-14-2024
Recently spoke to someone who talked about a meal out that cost them more than the average rent. They were with a group, but it got me thinking, I've never paid more than £35 (approx $44) a head for a meal out. I've never been one for posh restaurants so places with high prices are turn off for me, but what's the most you've ever spent (or would spend)?

I've lived in the states before too. It wasn't $50 a head everywhere I went, though there were plenty of restaurants at that price too. Perhaps it depends on the type of place you go?

I've done about the same, but I don't feel stupid or have any regrets afterwards. Maybe ~$150 per person, plus alcohol. Easy to rack up a $500+ bill between two people. I normally only go for special occasions, maybe once or twice a year.
When you eat at high end steak houses, you're getting better quality meat cooked to perfection. Basically melts in your mouth good. Really everything about your meal should be near perfect.
There are other ways to spend your money, but you can't take it with you when you die. When you aren't struggling financially and have less desire for physical possessions, you tend to spend more money on sharing experiences with people you care about. Fancy restaurants, vacations, events, etc.
