Tell me I’m not the only one who thinks my country’s tradition is the stupidest thing ever.

Basically after you finish secondary school (we finish it around 18-19 here) the class has something like a graduation prom but it has more aspects to it like DJ, all night party and whatnot.

It's basically like graduation prom you have in US but more grandiose.

The bottom line is, it costs usually around 600€-900€ ($700-$1000) and it's like, pretty much noone even questions it.

Everyone just pretends it's mandatory and everyone should participate, even though obviously, spending 700€ for one night, well, If I actually did that I could never call myself frugal in good conscience ever again.

I just wanted to hear yall's opinion on this beacuse I can't be the only one who thinks it's beyond irresponsible to spend this amount of money on one event.
