How to Keep Prom Costs Under Control
As I was flipping radio stations recently, I happened to hear Delilah, the radio personality, talking about how her family dealt with prom expenses. For her daughters, the tradition was to buy a dress from a consignment store and freshen it up by changing the look or adding embellishments. Each girl had a unique design, and the costs didnt spiral out of control.

Money Quick Tips: Pruning the price of prom
Prom it's the quintessential rite of passage and red carpet moment for millions of American teens each year. And it doesn't come cheap. Fancy dresses, luxury limos, and elegant dinners can really add up. Families with teens are expected to spend an average of $1,139 on prom this year, according to a recent Visa survey. That's up 5% from last year and up more than 40% from 2011

Keeping prom in perspective
Don't tell her I said this, but I'm happy my daughter isn't overexcited about her senior prom. "I'm going, but only because I don't want to look back years from now and think I've missed out on something," Olivia said as she discussed her budget for this rite of passage for which many students and parents spend way too much money.
