    Everyone here’s keeps going on about how much going to a movie sucks anyways.

    Sometimes it’s just nice to get out of the house. Cheap date nights use to be things like bowling, dinner, movie, mini golf, pool, or a number of other things and now you can’t even step out your front door without spending $100.

    For reference when my wife and I started dating in 2008 $50 got a couple of teens an amazing night out and now $100 gets you a movie. People wanna live simple lives and we were robbed of that.

      Can’t even take my kid to McDonald’s to sit and chat with her cause of the prices. I’m in Canada, I stopped at Taco Bell on the way home with my wife and daughter a few weeks back. $60 for 3 meals. It’s fucking ridiculous. Fucking Taco Bell. I think it was like $15 for each meal plus we got dessert pies and extra fries. 15 years ago I would take my wife out for an all you can eat sushi dinner for $60
