When I watch movies, people go to fancy restaurants and order without looking at the prices. Supposedly, they’re rich enough not to care how much things cost. But maybe if you’ve decided to go to a fancy restaurant, you’ve already committed to the highest cost of that restaurant and factored that into the budget.
As they say in the movies, if you have to look at the prices, you can’t afford it.
Have you ever ordered a meal at an expensive restaurant without looking at the cost?
I did this once. I surprised my wife by taking her to London and booking a meal at the Ritz hotel for our anniversary. Needless to say I came away considerably poorer than when I went in. It was really nice, but I can’t say it was value for money.
