Sure, but for my situation it works out that by cooking the majority of the time I'll be able to retire 1-2 years earlier. Save $10 a day on food most days ~= $3000/year, over 20 years ~= $60k. I also enjoy eating out more as it is more of 'treat' (and less of a chore to some extent).

Yes, but if we are talking strictly numbers, we have to consider opportunity cost. I do love cooking, but I can make way more than $10 in 1 or 2 hours.
