But the notion that 1 persons food does not cost more if he/she eats it with someone else.

Go to the grocery store and look at how food is packaged. There is a per unit cost difference between buying in bulk vs. buying smaller amounts. Single people aren't buying in bulk, nor should they.

Or that there is a reasonable premium for "fun, active area".

There is, unless you're arguing that social considerations should not be a priority.

As I said, I strongly disagree that a young person should not be financially healthy.

I'm not arguing that. I'm arguing that "financial health" is more difficult for some people than others. Very few people in their twenties are "financially healthy" by the standards of people in their fifties.

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)


That, or it drives them to make more money.

Couples dont cook in bulk. They cook for 2.

A single person should cook for 1.

This concept shouldn't be very hard.

Does bulk save money? A lot of times it does. But there isnt some magic switch when cooking for 1 versus 2 that makes bulk worthwhile. Cooking for 2 does not equal cooking bulk.

Growing up, I drove to buckhead or dekalb county if I wanted to drink out till 4am. I drove to Suwanee if I wanted to buy beer after midnight. The invention of cars is not a novelty. You presume too little of the ingenuity and ability of the human spirit to get loaded.

Straw man. No reason to bring this up.

Hey. That's part of the dave Ramsey plan. You're catching on.
