Ah, we may just have different definitions of rich, or perhaps I’m a bit of a spendthrift! Or, I suppose, I might just go to cheaper restaurants. I’m thinking of checks in the like, $150-$200 range for the party, which isn’t nothing but as an occasional splurge doesn’t really fuss me. I guess if you do it 5x per year on a 50k household income (about the local median in my city, I think) that’d be about 2% gross. Not cheap, but also not crazy, at least for my money intuitions.
