Interesting economics or manipulating numbers

Recently, 2 topics skipped: about the fact that eating in restaurants is cheaper and about the fact that your car is more expensive .
Now, using simple calculations as an example, we decide the opposite — I will not write much. I just remember the things that the authors of the above posts, due to ignorance, unconsciousness or malicious intent, have forgotten to announce.
Let's start the same.

The author of the first post is indignant that he will have to spend his time buying and cooking.
However, this action can be entrusted to one's half - as observed, people rarely live alone, usually with their parents and then with a girl / wife. We will not consider the case of parents, the case of a girlfriend / wife is also obvious: the cost of products is clearly less than the cost of their products prepared in a restaurant.
On the example of pizza : the cost of products 50r, and ready-made big pizza costs 300.
Or on the example of cheese soup with shrimps : 6 servings cost 150 rubles, while in a restaurant, 6 servings will cost per thousand.
I did not specifically count the cost of everyday food such as chicken or fried potato soups - the gap there is much larger.
What were the mistakes of the author of the topic (subjectively, of course)?
1) He considers the cost of a relatively extremely narrow stratum of people who live separately from their parents, but do not have the second half.
2) He considers the cost of cooking and buying as part of the cost of the goods. Taking into account the first point, this is absolutely wrong; if it is not taken into account, it is strongly overstated.

Auto
Let's look at the average taxi. Sometimes there are budget Hindai-type foreign cars, sometimes even classics (and if you take a province, then only classics).
Average cars to used (think your taxi off the assembly line) Nexia. And throw on the repair thirty, repair after purchase immediately =) Total <200tr.
The author clearly raised the price, this is far from the middle class =)
With the cost of gasoline in 20t.r. In principle, we can agree.
We will not consider parking, this is unnecessary: ​​if an icicle falls, then money can easily be cut from the wagon (see court practice). A gangster 90s long past.
And we believe that the car for 5 years. After which it will be sold for 50% of the sales price (taking into account possible accidents and depreciation of the car).
Costs: 200/5 years (purchase with repairs) + 20 (gasoline) + 10 (minor repairs) - 100/5 (sale) +3 (insurance) = 53t.r. in year.
We consider a taxi: 4 times a day (2 times there / back a day on average) for 150 rubles - already clearly for 200t.r. In Moscow, even more expensive.
Conclusion?
And even if you use public transport, it will not be cheaper. Considering the fare for 15-20 rubles for 2 people 2 times in both directions we get the same 50t.r.
After buying a car, my family budget has become a little freer. I felt it in my own skin. This is not to mention the fact that you can now go at any time and in any place .
What were the mistakes of the author of the topic (again subjectively)?
1) Extremely high prices for cars. Taxis are not like =)
2) CASCO for the new expensive cars. Delete or take on our second-hand cheap.
3) Parking.
4) The cost of a taxi. When calculating, I took less, but I took into account that I would have to travel more than 1 time there / back.
