We eat out about 85% of the time and basi­cally keep only snacks at home. We have not missed the daily grind of cook­ing and clean­ing up at all. Peo­ple often ask us how we can afford to eat out so much, but after shift­ing our gro­cery and auto bud­gets over to the din­ing bud­get, we are still ahead finan­cially. And what fun it has been to take in a foot­ball game and a great ham­burger at this place, and enjoy a jazz trio and a fine wine at that place.

Default tem­plates are ter­rific for peo­ple who can’t or don’t want to design their own — but they’re ter­ri­ble start­ing points for any­one attempt­ing to estab­lish their own unique brand. If you start with noth­ing, you’re forced to think about everything.
