The difference between weddings and education is that weddings are a one-time bounce, with the benefit being a really fun night (probably more so for the guests than the couple) at the country club or the VFW Hall. The gifts may or may not off-set the cost of the party, and at the very least, there is a ton of frictional cost involved.<BR/><BR/>College, however, at least to this point, has proven to be an investment that pays off. Someone please find supporting data for this. I have to go wash onesies.Restless Nativehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02706411308856326216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4748314449835758607.post-30913522441016091782008-12-22T00:57:00.000-05:002008-12-22T00:57:00.000-05:00Coincidentally, the NYT has an article today about...Coincidentally, the <A HREF="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/21/fashion/weddings/21FIELD.html?em" REL="nofollow">NYT</A> has an article today about recession and weddings. <BR/><BR/>It is also highlights another insane trend - student loan debt:<BR/><BR/><I>Given the amount of debt piling up from their graduate school studies, she suddenly thought that the $30,000 to $40,000 she had planned to spend on her wedding seemed ridiculous. </I><BR/><BR/>I am a guessing a graph of college costs would closely mirror the one I did of baseball salaries. Insane. Frankly, with college costs where they are, I am beginning to wonder whether college is even a good investment anymore.GammaBoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14724627174828507827noreply@blogger.com
