to commemorate special event for families.

It is said that people have a tendency to pay huge amount of money on their birthdays and weddings. This phenomenon is primarily due to improving relationships, and I regard this as being unfavorable.

To begin with, there are two main reasons why family celebrations are significant. First and foremost, it is obvious that those events can be one of the best methods of improving family relationships. This is because most family members and relatives who reside in different areas, can be gathered to commemorate a member’s milestone. Secondly, family parties are necessary for notifying events of one’s family to loved ones. This can function as a way to show that they care about relatives, thus a person who is invited feels valued.

From my point of view, I object that people should spend prodigious amount of money on family anniversary. To be specific, it is not arguable for those who have the ability to afford to hold grand celebrations. However, people who are in need should not have to waste their money in commemorating family events, since those anniversaries are optional and they can use their money for other valuable purposes. Above all, it has been observed that people should show their wealth by giving a huge banquet, but nowadays there is an increasing trend that celebrities possessing large amount of fortune are willing to celebrate their weddings without using luxurious wedding halls. Furthermore, not having grand scale of parties which are wasting tremendous money, people still are able to commemorate their special days.

In conclusion, although it is believed that people are willing to spend excessively on their celebrations, I think nowadays people are thrifty when commemorating their special days.

In conclusion, although it is believed that people are willing to spend excessively on their celebrations, I think nowadays people are thrifty when commemorating their special days.

From my point of view, I believe that not all people are spending vast amount of money on family anniversary. Obviously it depends on one’s financial status, but without holding magnificent celebrations, proper amount of money can be spent for remembering their valuable anniversaries. What is surprising is that , however, nowadays, even if celebrities who have plenty of money for commemorating their anniversaries, some of them are reluctant to celebrate their weddings in luxurious places. I am not sure that they are truly pursuing thrifty living, but that phenomenon becomes a model for leading the rich to follow the trend.

Yes...unfavorable -> mention the reasons why they need to spend a lot
