The Senior Spend: Are You Financing a Prom for a Non-Graduate?

Before you drop $1,000 on a Prom dress and Grad Bash tickets, have you checked the Parent Portal?
In this episode of Ray Talks Live, we are talking about the most expensive time of the year for a high school family: Senior Season. Between Academic Signing Day, Prom, and Grad Bash, the obscene amount of money parents are spending right now is mind-blowing. But after teaching high school seniors every single day for the last decade, I have a very serious question for the parents: Do you actually know if your child is graduating?
I am pulling back the curtain on the heartbreaking reality we see every May. We are talking about students who are failing core classes or missing state testing requirements, yet are still walking into Prom in a rented tuxedo. Join me for a transparent, no-nonsense conversation about financial responsibility, academic accountability, and why verifying that diploma should always come before booking the party bus.
