BTW got to ask, aren't you in Nola and he's in OC? How do you go out 5 nights a week? Something here seem logistically difficult?

To answer OP $100 a time average, we eat out maybe once a week as we cook, simple meals weekdays usually have friends over and BBQ weekends.
Monthly
With the mortgage and all condo expenses (cable electr, water, etc) being $3k
5 Cars with insurance being another $3K Mine, ex's, oldest daughters, and his two.
Then $3k in child support (from a previous marriage not including the costs to raise our own infant daughter)
Health insurance for everyone at $1,100
Thats more than half right there.

We could not get by on just 5k a month.
