The thing is, nothing is pre-planned for the day so all decisions are pretty much on a whim.  However, for the ones that don\u2019t dine out as much they often invest more in experiences such as events.<\/p>\n<p>In this case, I suppose since the event is technically hanging out that is say good enough for the day where spending more money on luxuries isn\u2019t necessary.  Everyone is different of course, but I do find that people who tend to dine out a lot are usually not as well off financially.  I think it\u2019s just simply due to how these types of expenses people don\u2019t usually keep track of it where it\u2019s like buying that cup of coffee every day and it just adds up.<\/p>\n<p>I know for myself I often take a value approach in wanting the most for my dollar and dining out isn\u2019t usually the winner versus simply being convenient.  If it\u2019s true how they say who you hand around with rubs off on you in terms of business success then I suppose finance is the same where spending habits can rub off on you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This got me thinking recently as there are some people that I don\u2019t see too often but what is clear is how for one particular group they always enjoy dining out to the point where I definitely spend way more money hanging around them versus say another group that usually just wants to hang out [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":17341,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[5],"tags":[1578],"class_list":["post-17709","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-financial-management","tag-spending"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/dinner.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p6VnHC-4BD","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17709","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17709"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17709\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17710,"href":"https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17709\/revisions\/17710"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17341"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17709"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17709"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17709"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
