Some people think that it’s important to spend money on family celebrations (e.g. weddings, birthdays). However, some think that expensive celebration are a waste of money. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

It is sometimes argued that allocating funding to family festivities

such

as weddings and birthdays is necessary.

Nevertheless

, others contend that it squanders money.

This

essay will elaborate on the opposing perspectives and the reasons why I am in favour of the former view. Admittedly, spending exorbitantly on family

celebrations

can be seen as extravagant to some extent.

First

, these

celebrations

last

only one day or a few hours, which often leads to a waste of food and other elements, and are often not appreciated by guests.

Therefore

, the expenditure on them should be used for more practical purposes

such

as electricity, food supply, healthcare and their children’s education. Specifically, for those of low income, allocating income to regular occasions like these is not vital for them to sustain their lives.

Furthermore

, organising these occasions

also

creates expectations from children, friends and family members that

this

is the norm, so if the budget does not allow for them in the future,

then

their expectations are not met, leading to dissatisfaction among them.

However

, spending on household activities and

celebrations

is

reasonable due to several benefits. The

first

one is that it can strengthen bonds between family members.

This

is because they have opportunities to reunite and update each other on their lives.

For instance

, a wedding is a special occasion for people to gather and share with their relatives about their current matters

such

as jobs, marital status and life events, forging their relationships. Another advantage is that family

celebrations

can foster family values. To illustrate, as a 30th wedding anniversary displays people’s long-lasting bongs, organising

this

type of event may encourage other married couples to focus on strengthening their relationships. In conclusion, each point of view has its own merits,

however

, I am of the opinion that people should spend their money on family

celebrations

because their familial relationships can be boosted and family values can be nurtured.

However

, costly

celebrations

should be organised by the wealthy only as they are financially affordable for them. It is advisable that people should refer to their financial state to decide how elaborate their family

celebrations

can be.
