Something I do with my "dinner money" is, for example, if I have $100, I try to find 4 $25 dinners, so I go out every week and I don't feel like I'm sacrificing my life. That works for me and my friends because we usually like simple outings because the important thing is to get together.

Another thing is hosting dinners at home, for example one night it's Ana's turn to make pizza, another night it's my turn to make pasta, etc. This type of thing has brought out the creative side of me.
