We Spend $281 Every Month Going Out to Eat

If you're wondering where all your money is going, a lot of it is being washed away in a sea of French fries and sweet and sour pork.

According to a new survey, the average person now spends $281 every month going out to eat.


That adds up to $3,372 every year.

And during your adult life, that's more than $200,000 you'll spend going to restaurants.  

(The average adult life expectancy in the U.S. is just under 79, so we based that number on ages 18 to 79.)

The survey also found 83% of people had eaten at a fast food restaurant in the past month, 61% had gone to a casual sit-down restaurant, and 61% had gone to a pizza place or gotten pizza delivered.
