Yup, when I was in college my friends always wondered a few things: Why didn't I have cable? Why did I only have a 15 year old TV that I'd pulled from a dumpster? Why didn't I have a huge DVD/CD collection? Why didn't I ever worry about being able to afford eating out? And how could I afford the Porsche?
Well, the answer to the first 3 questions is the last question, and when I ate out maybe once a month, it never accumulated to any money to worry about. It's all a matter of priorities. I have nice cars, a helluva lot of books, and a decent apartment. But I live on bologna sandwiches, and home-made "batch" meals like chicken soup, beef stew, or spaghetti where I can eat for a week on like $7 worth of food.
