Groceries/dining out is food

Dining out is a lot more expensive, and cooking for one is not as economical as cooking for two. Then you have costs related to going out and dating, which are high. You could make valid points that people should spend way less on this, but that’s easier said than done.

Sure, but that isn’t the only priority for anyone, nor should it be.

I laughed at your post.
Not at you in particular.
But the notion that 1 persons food does not cost more if he/she eats it with someone else.
Or that there is a reasonable premium for "fun, active area".

As I said, I strongly disagree that a young person should not be financially healthy. That's the type if shite that turns everyone socialist (disdain for their financial position at 20, 25, 30, etc.. for not acting like a reasonable adult)

I can assure you...when you get married your budget for food will definitely go up.

You got that right. I remember in high school, I took a girl out to a fairly nice restaurant and we got steaks, and I think the bill came to $20 or so. The cost of dating today would be terrifying these days!

ETA
With social distancing right now you should be saving a ton of money! Silver lining!
