If school cost $10 thousand dollars a year, and after 4 years you have an art history degree, then you are in debt for $40 thousand dollars. Good luck paying that off with any job that you get with an art history degree.
Ditto weddings. What used to be simple ceremonies has turned into a massive industry of wasted money. If couples used the same money they spend on a wedding to begin their life together (think down payment on a home) they’d be better off than blowing it on part of ONE day in their life.
