TYT: Prom Spending Out Of Control

The amount of money parents are spending on high school proms has increased dramatically, and parents in the @20-29k a year range are spending the most on average. Ana Kasparian and Cenk Uygur break it down on The Young Turks.

I guess if you're going to peak at the prom, may as well spend a mint.

However, more than 10% of take home pay is pretty high. They must be charging this on credit.

Parents today seem to be using their children's youth as something to cherish and worship because after they leave high school, their lives are effectively over. Even through college you work hard to get an education you most likely won't use. You get a job, you'll have for awhile then you'll be fired. Or worse you won't get hired and you'll live with your parents for a GOOD long time (some till their 30 or something).

Again pointing out how I'm a soccer referee. Youth games and tournaments and high school is the worst. Parents yell and scream like you're taking their children's lives from them. They threaten and argue and yell at coaches and refs about their little Billy or Lilly and how they're perfect and we're awful people for ruining their games. It's becoming unbearable.
