The Wedding Industry is the biggest racket going.
Especially when the Diamond industry is considered part of the wedding industry. Diamonds are highly manipulated to increase their price.
It truly is. I made my own dress (hand sewing pounds of glass beads on) but I’d go consignment if I had it to do over.
I wonder if there was ever a study done comparing the net worth of fathers who raised just two daughters against fathers who raised just two sons. I think the results would be shocking.
A co-worker of mine endured the ultimate nightmare scenario involving his daughter. He spent over $100,000 sending her to a first-class four year college. Almost as soon as she graduated, she decided to get married and he had to pony up almost $50,000 for that.
A couple kids and a few years later, she divorced her husband and guess what? Yes, "Daddy's little girl" moved right back into the house with her brood and he's been helping to support them ever since.
