My guess from most of my 20s and 30s living in big cities- when you live in a tiny apartment almost anything you do from food, entertainment, exercise, transportation is a repeated consumption expense since you don't have space to actually own anything, repair anything, wash anything or buy in bulk. Now that I live in a suburb I give away way less money just to exist.
