Great point however as a millennial saving up here in London and still living at home, eating out actually becomes one of the few ways to catch up with friends consistently. Almost like drinking alcohol, there is a social benefit to meeting up with friends and it's a cost many millennials suffer. Of course, if I had my own place, I'd be more inclined to invite them round but with house prices so out of reach, saving the roughly £40 a month I might spend eating out doesn't make a dent in the overall deposit required.
