This one is really funny. Los Angeles Times Personal Finance Writer, Kathy Kristof, calls our office last Thursday because she is working on a story about the high cost of high school Proms, and wants to talk with Scott Leonard about any advice he might offer to clients. In particular, she was looking for a financial planner with high school aged kids. Instead she got me!
I explained that I do not have kids, and certainly not ones in high school. However, as I am in the middle of planning a wedding that falls in the middle of Prom season, I can share my experience with elevated prices for limos, flowers and reception venues. We chatted a bit about when I was in high school, and somehow something I said there was quotable!

"Prom Night Need Not Break the Bank," by Kathy M. Kristof, Personal Finance Writer for the Los Angeles Times.
I'm pretty close to the end of the article. And for the record, it was Mom's four year old Toyota. So, while not an uncle's Mercedes, still a far cry from my 1978 Ford Fairmont Station Wagon with fake wood paneling on the side!
