A date can burn a hole in your pocket and, as Statista details below, in some cities, the cost of a romantic evening is absolutely extortionate. If you meet someone from Switzerland on holidays and subsequently visit them with the intention of paying for dinner and drinks, you better start saving. A "cheap date" in Zurich costs around $200. That's according to Deutsche Bank's 8th annual survey of global prices and living standards. You will find more infographics at Statista In the analysis, a cheap date is defined as cab rides, dinner/lunch for two at a pub or diner, soft drinks, two movie tickets and a couple of beers. Some may disagree with Deutsche Bank's definition that such a date is actually "cheap". Nevertheless, Oslo, which is well known for its high prices, comes in second with costs adding up to $164. Copenhagen comes third with a date costing around $158 on average. Things are cheaper in Cairo and Bangalore where a romantic evening would only cost around $42. Poster Comment: I have not been to the movies since 2011 when I took my grand nieces and nephews to some matinees. I do not drink beer and my town is so small that we no longer have a taxi. I am saving a ton of money.

1979, "Alien". Me neither, I go right to the hard stuff. Me too. I'm a strict adherent of women's liberation. I make them pay.

Speaking of money... Did I ever tell y'all about the time I got a whole year behind on paying my wife's allowance? I worked and worked, and finally saved enough to pay her off. And let me tell you -- with one income, several children to feed, and ammo being so expensive -- fifty-two dollars was a lot of money to come up with.
Checking ino.com looks like the market's about the only thing going on today except retailers. All .govs seem to be celebrating Brandon's Day.
In the past I have offered $5 to any student who could tell who was the first president of South Carolina. Nobody ever won the money.
I didn't even know SC had a prez.

In that case, why don't you send Lod the $5 for me? Thanks.
