<prompt> Human: I feel embarrassed to ask for this help, however my girlfriend and I both have a lot of trouble saving money. We have zero debt, yet we only have around ten thousand in the bank and are living basically paycheck to paycheck.We both turned 26 last month and were talking about buying a home, I realize with our current spending habits we really cant afford this. Our incomes are high and yet it seems like all our money is gone every month.Our combined salaries are around 450k per year. Shes about to get a big promotion and our salaries will continue going up, but that doesnt help the problem. The good part is we have no debt, we both own our cars. I bought a Sprinter van last year but paid it off pretty quickly, we dont like debt. We rent an apartment which is 1500 per month. I realize I spend too much money on my hobbies and we spend way too much eating out. We go on a couple vacations per year for a total of around a month per year two weeks my choice, two weeks hers. Mine our pretty cheap camping, backpacking, climbing, but our travel is still less than 10k for a trip.I feel like its our day to day expenditures which are throwing us off, we get into unhealthy habits. They are really hard to break though.EDIT: I got a mint account last month and it looks like over 4k is going to eating out every month, about 1k to my hobbies, her shopping is similar, and the rest seems to get eaten up over other miscellaneous purchase amazon is a big culprit. I spend a few hundred on textbooks but I like them a lot which seems fair. A few years ago when we met we fell in love with this home on the cliffs. We were just joking at the time no idea we would actually have salaries like this, but it recently came up for sale for 1.7 million dollars.EDIT EDIT: Our lease also ends in about 5 months and is un-reneweable because it is subsidized housing provided through the school. Im hoping to get a handle on our finances and look into buying a house by then.  <response>: What the hell is wrong with you spending that much on eating out. Get your shit together
