To begin

, nowadays some people believe that it is important and essential to spend a lot of

money

on family celebrations

whereas

, others look at it as a method of wasting

money

.

According to

my point of view, I think that there's no right or wrong here as it is a personal preference. First and foremost, some may find that

it is necessary to celebrate family occasions in a grand manner to please and surprise their loved ones.

Also

, they use these activities as a way of showing their love and gratitude towards them.

For instance

,

although

I am not a very good fan of celebrations, I threw a surprise party for my mom on her 60th birthday with our relatives and she was over the moon and enjoyed it really well. So, we cannot actually put a price tag on their happiness and smile.

Furthermore

such

a perfect place to meet close friends and relatives to share our special moments.

However

, Some people look at these grand celebrations as a waste of

money

. They believe it is not necessary to spend a lot on short-term enjoyment.

For example

, some may find it is better to give meals or

money

to the poor or differently-abled people in order to celebrate important milestones of their lives.

Moreover

, some prefer to celebrate

such

occasions by investing in the future.

For instance

, opening a new savings account for your spouse or child or enrolling your parents in health or life insurance which I believe is

also

interesting and necessary.

To conclude

, even though some prefer to throw big parties to celebrate important moments, others may look at

this

as a waste of

money

due to

the numerous reasons mentioned earlier. I strongly believe that both ways of celebrating special moments are equally important and necessary to make your family happy.
