Prom Problems
OK, yes, this is really sad for this guy, who was just trying to do something nice for a friend and who ended up blowing all of his savings only to be used to make this girl’s boyfriend jealous. That’s unfortunate. But that’s not what I want to talk about.
I want to talk about how ridiculous high school prom has gotten. There are all of these expectations that you’re going to rent a limousine, that you’re going to have a really expensive dinner, that you’re going to pay for a whole bunch of photos. It’s a high school dance, not a wedding! A high school dance should not wipe out somebody’s savings. Drive your mom’s minivan and eat at a moderately priced local Italian restaurant. It’s so much more reasonable.
