This is too funny. It goes along the lines of how we should outlaw guns because guns are "evil". Guns aren't evil. People who use them wrongly are. OK, sorry for the detour......Eating out is among the of the top causes of personal debt. Most of us hunt for the best interest rates on our mortgages and we complain about the awful price of gas the whole time we are pumping it.
Interestingly enough though, I have yet to hear one person groan about the awful prices they had to pay for lunch today or tell how they were "duped" into having to pay such high prices at their favorite restaurant. I mean really, the government should step in and make all restaurants take steak off of their menus so I won't be tempted to order it. Of course then there are those fast food places. They shouldn't be allowed to build so close to the road and make it so convenient for me to drive in there each day. They have a lot of nerve expecting me to be a responsible adult who knows what I can or can't afford and should or shouldn't do.
She refutes every excuse for eating out, and she's quite right about them. Here are the excuses; read part 2 of the article for her answers:
I don't have time.She asks this question:
I'm too busy.
I don't know how to cook.
It's so much easier.
Do you want the pain of cooking or the pain of not knowing how to pay yourShe also offers solutions to make cooking at home easier. So, it's time for me to break the eating-out habit once and for all......
bills?
BTW, I paid off a loan that was just shy of $13,000 for consolidated debt a few months ago. I still have two smaller credit cards left to pay off (for lumber/hardware and clothes, which I "needed" for church) and back taxes (long story). I really have to knuckle down to get the taxes paid off because the interest and penalties are killing me. And then I will have to remember what Paul said to the Romans, "Owe no man any thing...." When one borrows, one is nothing more than a slave.
