I challenged Popmenu on the results of their survey -- waiting to hear back. Meanwhile, how much do spend?

I am a retired CPA/Financial Advisor with over 47 years experience and admittedly a little anal when it comes to numbers. Average or median numbers for income and expenses are essentially meaningless, what is meaningful are your actual numbers. Here are the numbers for my wife and I for calendar year 2024:
Expense. Annual. Avg. Weekly. Ave. Monthly
Groceries. 9,723.51. 186.99. 810.29
Dining Out. 12,041.73 231.57. 1,003.48
Total. 21,765.24 418.56. 1,813.77
