<prompt> Human: Canadian chiming in. In the last year, Ive been trying hard to cook at home as much as I can and have even gone vegetarian to save money. The only time Ive spent money dining in or getting takeout is with friends. Ive noticed my spending has been getting out of hand in the last few weeks since my trip to Quebec back in August, where I blew a lot of money on local wine, food, and gifts I dont travel there often. Almost every week since, Ive been spending upwards of 120month on takeoutdining whereas before I spent maybe as low as 40month. I know my social circle has expanded recently and gaining pressure from work to eat out farewell celebrations, birthdays, etc., so that can be a contributing factor to the increase in spending. Disciplining myself to cook at home has noticeably been harder. Its not that I cant afford to eat out, but I feel emotionally guilty of eating out maybe because Ive been focusing hard on funding my retirement 1000month contributions to my TFSARRSP. I normally spend approximately 40week on groceries. Do you think I should be more careful with my spending or am I in good standing? Salary is 60,000 for reference. Thanks!  <response>: Your spending is insanely insanely low. Go have fun.
