Unfortunate but this is the truth. Too many of us have been accustomed to small luxuries like "affording takeout", but we unfortunately have been priced out of being able to afford stuff like this.

It's a tough pill to swallow if you've been doing it your whole life and think that a functioning adult with a full-time job should be able to afford some takeout every now and again. We are not the generation that gets to enjoy that privilege, it seems.

Also you reset your taste buds and come to realise how greasy and sugary everything is that you don't make yourself or eat out at a nice place.
