Very much this. I'm still in the process of trying to adopt and becoming a foster family for the licensing, and one of the things we had to do is prepare a budget. I'm nowhere close to being squeezed and still have a ton left over every month, but it really stood out that we were spending in the area of four grand a month on food. I'm not even really trying to save money now so much as cook my own meals so I can track calories as part of an effort to be more intentional with my diet since I started TRT and lifting actually makes a difference now, but just not eating out and not drinking any alcohol has cut that to more like one grand a month. Next to that, what difference does it make if I spend $12 a month or $80 a month on streaming services? I'd rather have the variety available, if anything.
