What do you do for lunch?
Seems like it’s harder and harder to get a normal lunch under $15 nowadays… Do you just eat the charge or do you bring your own lunch?

Meal prep on Sundays and take lunch with me most days. Only in the office 3/5 days a week, and I’ll probably grab something to go 1 or 2 days.
pimento cheese sandwich
"Kid named Finger"
Nibble on my coworkers’ limbs (Cannibal at FTP making $140k base)
Semen protein shakes
I buy the salad kits at target, too lazy to meal prep and my bank only comps dinners
See that's why you work at FTP (140k An1 base btw). We comp lunches and dinners. It's the best bank in the world!!!
It's common at my shop to order two meals for dinner and eat one of them the following day. We are blessed with a larger than average dinner stipend.
Lou's Lounge in San Francisco. Then Blue Hawaii Acai if I have time.
Try to bring lunch 1 or 2 days a week (I make a dish or two on Sunday, nothing crazy) and the third day I'll get takeout as I just don't like leftovers beyond 3 days. If I'm having a particularly brutal week I'll eat out all 3 days, nice to get a walk in anyway
Our bank gives us lunch.

Just buy lunch it's a marginal ~$2K extra year. Losing way more than that value in the markets every week. Just buy and live life too many bigger problems than that
