    Pfft, fresh fruit and eggs for breakfast. What a waste of hard earned money for a 10 minute transitory moment.

      do you transfer 25% of all your income for 2 years to a fund devoted to one 10-minute breakfast of fresh fruit & eggs?

        Doesn’t matter the amount of money or the time.

        The fact is that creating enjoyable memories for yourself or as a couple is important for a relationship. Having a nice vacation in general is important for mental health, especially if you’re an American who likely almost never gets to be truly away from work.

        Disparaging someone for saving money for a vacation is just an elitist attitude.

        You could survive off of multivitamins, rice and beans for the rest of your life if you really wanted to not waste money. Yet you’re now defensive of a mediocre breakfast. So at what point does spending money on “transitory moments” become wasteful to you.
