Wasting money on a ring, wedding, etc.
I'm wholly against marriage as well, but that's another story.
Ring and everything else involved in the wedding industry is utterly pointless and wasteful. Let's spend thousands of dollars on a ring that has only a small percentage of actual value compared to purchase price. (Look at what rings sell for 2nd hand, or better, at a gold dealer. The diamonds are worthless outside of a jeweler selling at retail). Then there's the ceremony and reception. Nobody cares. Most won't remember it, and the people that go are going to be half feeling obligation due to relation or just because they were invited. On top of that, the dress up clothes. Can't just wear nice clothes for the event, everyone participating has to shell out hundreds or more for one evening's clothes.
It's all just a silly waste of money, usually in the time of life where those liquid assets would be better served elsewhere.
