<prompt> Human: Hi all,Im a 26M living in Seattle. Ive been using YNAB for the last 7 months and realized I was spending about 1000 per month on restaurant and bars. I see so many posts here about how a family of 4 is able to limit their restaurant budget to 300 per month and it makes me feel bad about my spending. I really enjoy going out to eat with my coworkers during the week, and going to bars with my friends on the weekend. I dont really have any other hobbies, thats what I do for fun. Do I need to cut back based on my situation? Is my restaurant spending just stupid outrageous and I should cut it by 23?Heres my budget. Expenses are based on average of last 6 months:Assets Checking Account: 10k Savings account emergency fund: 30k 401k: 60k Roth IRA: 36kIncome and Savings Gross Pay: 107k yearly plus 10 bonus 8 each paycheck into 401k Monthly Take home: 6100 450 per month into Roth IRA 1100 per month Emergency Fundgrad school fund 500 per month into travel fundMonthly Expenses Rent and utilities: 1090 Subscriptions cell phoneinternetnetflixmoviepassmassagesetc.: 500 Restaurants and Bars: 1000 Groceries: 300 Clothes: 50 MedicalHealthHaircuts: 100 Uber: 50 Everyday spending Stuff that doesnt fall neatly in a category: 250Annual Expenses budged for monthly Credit card fees, last pass, renters insurance, birthdays, gifts: 100 Travel: 400Edit: I dont have a family although I have a fiance who I pay for a lot when we go out on dates. I also dont have any student loans because my mom passed away when I was young and she left me basically exactly the amount of money I needed to go to a state college without needing loans.  <response>: Living in NY, I too, spend about a solid 1k between dinners with the GF, take out, lunches with work friends, going to bars and clubs for birthdays and so on without batting an eye. Why? Because I budget for it. After I put my money away for rent, bills, savings, travel, misc. expences etc., I go down my budget line for the month and factor that. My savings goals, emergency funds are all being taken care of FIRST. So its not a problem to spend 1,2,5k on food a month if you can afford it and taking care of your hard costs.
