Many, many millenials aren't as fortunate to have a high-paying software engineering position like yourself.

For them, $20 per dinner every night is simply impossible.

It also adds up really quickly. $20/dinner is like $50/day if you eat out all 3 meals, which is more than $15K/year. There are people who live on $15K/year; there are also startups that have been founded on $15K.

If the price of not making that grocery run for 3 years is "I get to do a startup without permission of investors", would you still do it?

Also, it is $20/person/meal, which quickly gets out of hand with more than one person.
Exactly. I can feed 3-4 adults dinner for $5 to $15 depending on what we cook. Those same dinners would cost $30 to $70 to purchase.
