Where all our Money goes

I just got out of the shower, and I was thinking while in the shower. I went out to lunch today, and also had dinner out. I had to pick up mom mom cause she went on this tour of seeing the trees/leaves, things like that in Muskoka. So I had to wait for her uptown after work, so I bought dinner for the two of us.

Anyways, I was thinking on average, I prob spend much more than $20 a week on food. But let's use $20 as an example. If I spent $20 each week on food, over the course of 52 weeks, that would be $1040 on food. Now what I spend on food is probably closer to about $30 on food so that makes $1560 a year on food. Now of course if really thinking that's not a lot of money, but it actually is to a student. That is a lot of money for someone who does not have a lot, or does not make any.

Why is the cost of living so high here. You spend like $1.50 just on a hot cup of coffee. Having on five days a week, for 52 weeks, that's $390 just on coffee. Food should really be cheaper. That is by far the most costly expense and necessity we all use our money on.
