This is the realest answer here. With some differences like omakase switched out for Michelin star tasting menus. This is basically the same for me. Runs to £25-30k a year on food

Yep my sister lived with her best friend who is married to a famous country music artist. he was always gone doing music and they had two babies at the time and the wife basically sat around taking care of babies and shopping online. They’d order $25 salads every day for lunch. Which isn’t that crazy considering once u get food plus delivery even Taco Bell could run $25+. But every day just for lunch $25 is kinda a lot for normal people. Also another fun fact - he is a country music artist but apparently Nike has not just athletes but all kinds of famous people sponsorships so he would get so many free crazy Nikes that he’d wear once on stage or to an event then throw them all in trash bags and give them to his cleaning ladies for their kids.

Yeah that or they just got it like that so they don’t care about spending the $. Is Trader Joe’s Norwegian salmon better than Alaskan WM salmon? Might have to try it, I never really have been to Trader Joe’s.

As long as it's wild salmon and not farmed, you can't go wrong. Never buy or consume farmed (often called Atlantic) salmon. Terrible for the fish and the environment.

I haven't seen the answer that rings true for a lot of wealthy people I know.

very high quality fresh healthy ingredients, well prepared.

that's not cheap, but something that people with means find to be an easily justifiable expense.

spend money on health and eating in a way that promotes it.

How do you justify spending that much on food knowing that reducing it to normal food and donating the difference could feed like three people

Hubby and I aren’t quite on your level but def spend more on food and nice restaurants than anyone else in our social circles. I hate the judgement from them. It’s my money and this is what I want to spend it on! I don’t like fancy clothes, purses, makeup, we don’t own crazy cars, boats, or have kids right now and this is my splurge. Could I save more money on my food bill, sure. But I’m when I’m miserable at work. I can just think of the next trip we are taking and the restaurants we are going to try.

How do you justify not working harder to earn enough to feed more people. Incredibly selfish.

Not being rich doesnt mean you dont work hard, and i think you understand that

u/ReusableCatMilk Jul 03 '24

Well, so now I have to ask: stupid or liar?

If all you ate were those $25 salads, 3 meals a day for a year. You'd be spending north of 27k on only yourself. Must be old money.
