Yeah. Most of my formative years where spent with both of my parents living off assistance. It was steak on the 3rd of the month and ramen the rest of the month.

When I moved out I was flabbergasted to learn many of my classmates & colleagues considered McDonald's cheap and would eat out regularly, and some of them didn't even count fast food as eating out. While we would go only like when we were traveling to visit family.
