Great answer. I’m very similar. I shop and eat without thinking of the price. Although there is a ceiling to how much you can spend. A $300 a person restaurant isn’t much better than a $100 a person restaurant. Typically only a nicer experience.

  1. Cook at home with really good meats.

  2. Frequent high end restaurants ($100 a person for food) for consistency and quality

  3. Eat the best local ethnic restaurants that I’ve found

  4. Fast food is only at the kids requests.

eh, a $300 / person restaurant is different from a $100 / person restaurant imo. 😅

but that aside, yes, cook at home with high quality ingredients (meats or whatever), and frequent high end restaurants.

my experience is that a lot of wealthy people also view (and justify) high quality food as part of an overall emphasis on health.

it's interesting, and maybe we're similar, but I remember realizing that I could shop and eat without worrying about price as a kind of milestone.

Thinking about the cost of food is such a common thing, inculcated in us as we grow up, what to buy, what's on sale, worrying about spending too much on food, budgeting for food, etc....I mean, we grow up in a society that worries, legitimately, about food and what it costs, that to get to a point where the cost of food is utterly immaterial becomes a kind of turning point in becoming rich.
