Let me tell you from experience...this will not be her last prom or formal dance. Next year and the following years she will want to go again. Do you still spend the big bucks for the "time of her life" again?? My girls were really great about such matters. They went to thrift shops and picked up three gowns under for under $50 total and picked their favorite to wear. Next year they traded. I cooked a fabulous dinner for them at home and their dates polished up their cars to show them off. They had a blast!! Remember, it's not the "stuff" it's the people!!

The entire reason we save, cut costs, and so on is to be able to <i>spend money</i> on other things. I once heard Ramit Sethi say something to the effect of "Spend extravagantly on things you care about, and cut costs mercilessly on those you don't." I love the point you make here.
