It's not wise to waste money on fun, when your basic NEEDs are not completeley satisfied. Under basic needs I mean, fully paid house, fully funded emergency fund, substantial savings in retirement accounts,
and so on.

Actually you should be a vegetarian so you don't eat any cholesterol from meat.

You know, food is a great place for saving. Every dollar you spend on food, goes directly to WC. Certainly, you must fully feed yourself and your family,
but that doesn't mean you should eat every day fresh meat and fruits.

To preserve your health, you have to exercise regularly. Food has nothing to do with health.

Honestly, that would be great! To get $100k as inheritance.
