Some think spending a lot on birthday celebration and weddings is a waste of money. Others think that it is important for young people and society. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

People’s opinions seem to differ on whether spending cash lavishly on celebrations and special occasions is a positive trend or a mere wastage of
money
. While some seem to agree with the argument that it is necessary for the society, I believe that
such
unmindful spending should rather be avoided.
To begin
with, there are myriad reasons to argue that spending loads of
money
on weddings and other special occasions is quite unnecessary.
Firstly
, in most of today’s celebrations there is a deliberate show of power and easy
money
.
Such
extensive celebrations are no better than pomp shows.
Secondly
,
instead
of spending huge amounts of
money
on any celebration, it is better to save it and later invest it in better ways.
For instance
,
instead
of spending lots of
money
on a child’s
first
birthday party in a five-star hotel, it is better to save it for his/her higher education.
Furthermore
, sometimes spending on special occasions like birthdays, anniversaries and h
ousewarming
Suggestion
house warming
also
become a social obligation for many people and they give in to the societal pressure spending their hard-earned
money
.
On the other hand
, people who argue that it is imperative to have grand celebrations opine / insist that it is a way of enjoying life with their family and friends. They feel that
such
celebrations are part of their customs and traditions. While
this
may be true to a certain extent, in my opinion, there is no need to spend truck loads of
money
on celebrations.
For example
, a birthday party held at home can be as enjoyable as the one held at a five star hotel and yet it costs much less. To conclude, I feel that unmindful spending on any occasion can be avoided.
Instead
that
money
should be saved or used in a better way
