<prompt> Human: I suppose it wouldnt kill me to go to a slightly more expensive restaurant, but financial and budgetary prudence is a skill that takes effort. In the times Ive been a bit loose with a couple extra dollars on a meal, I tended to start spending more on much more expensive things as well.Others who are loose with their money see it as only a couple bucks, whats the big deal? They dont empathize with the mindset. And because theres more of them we usually go somewhere mid range or worse.Just curious if anyone else deals with this, and what have you done to strike a better compromise in terms of where to go or what to do. I think restaraunts are probably the main battleground for differing spending standards.  <response>: Nahh, until you start paying my bills, you have no say in my finances
