Sounds like my one friend growing up. They had a McMansion which his Mom was obsessive about keeping immaculate. But they ordered takeout basically every night. His dad was entrepreneurial and taught him that it’s economically rational not to cook for yourself if you’re a high earner. He’s now a well paid programmer and he lives off of TV dinners so he can spend an even more excessive time playing video games.
When I was younger I thought that, I came from a family of bad cooks and thought I just wanted to make enough where I wouldn’t have to cook. Well, I kind of make enough for that, and I do love going out - but really I just had to cook better. Now dinner at home isn’t depressing but actually kind of nice.
