I gotta do more videos when I'm half in the bag. They come out much better than originally think. (language warning).
Regardless, I eviscerate the idiots dropping $25,000 on weddings only to have half of them end up divorced. Not to mention that money could go to a house or some kid's college fund.
Amen. Spend the down payment on a house for a damn party? Nope. I didn't spend half of it on a piece of gold with a lump of highly polished compressed coal on it either. I still spent too much on that stupid thing, but that's the pleasure of a wife from the 3rd world; they're just ecstatic to be there, and fantasies of a stable life together already have them foaming at the mouth.
ReplyDeleteI agree with one of the commenters on YouTube: you gotta write a sequel to worthless about all the other worthless scams out there. Weddings are one of them, right alongside diamonds.
ReplyDeleteJust as a note, the first marriage divorce rate is closer to 30%; and is much lower for two college educated people who are married when they are over 25.
ReplyDeleteThe "50%" statistic is a myth that is mostly used to promote some form of social engineering.

ReplyDeleteI totally agree, however concerning college and how there is a credentialism bubble.
You might want to advise trade school to parents. Being a skilled tradesman or handyman can be paying, fulfilling and rewarding.

half?
You could probably write two books about the various worthless things in society.
ReplyDeleteJust listened to this video and got a tip for you although I don't have an actual citation as this is word of mouth. My sister lives in Canada and apparently the trend is to pony up cash when you go to someone's wedding. In addition to the gift it is expected that you will include an envelope with (get this) $200 in it to help defray the cost of the wedding. Not "would be nice" but expected. I've actually heard stories about people contacting their friends because they hadn't got their cash yet. My sister, who tries very hard to fit in with her group, actually ponies up the cash. I can't tell you on a public forum what my response will be the first time I get that invite due to obscenity rules.

ReplyDeleteIn the same vein, one of the biggest scams of them all: marriage.
