typical night out for many of my twenty something friends:

>uber to the first bar - 15-20$

>drinks at the first bar - 15$

>several drinks and food at a brewpub or the like - 50$

>nightcap at a bar - 10$

>uber home - 20-25$ (surge pricing, bars closing)

Youve just spent 110$ in a single night out, essentially on a single meal.

rinse and repeat each weekend day, maybe up to 12 times in a month - youre out almost 1500$

That or i know a ton of people paying more than 200$ per month for their car payment. plus insurance thats a good chunk of money!

Theres two grand right there that could have otherwise gone into a retirement account.
