Dating has gotten so expensive that nearly half of U.S. singles say it’s no longer worth it, as the average night out approaches $200 (fortune.com)

museum entry where i live is $50 now. yeah 15 year ago it as $15-20. i used to get a yearly membership for $60, now that membership is $200.

mexican dinner used to be $10, sure, but now it's $15-20 for a burrito at a cheap place, and a nice sit down mexican place is going to be $25-30 for a burrito.

so many people here are out of touch with how dating and going out costs are in 2026. you are living 10-20 years in the past.
