I’m not here to stop you from proposing to your beloved on the jumbotron this summer. If your dream is to ask your partner to spend the rest of your lives together in front of 40,000 people who share your fandom (or 3,000 people if you’re an Oakland A’s fan), I would never try to stop you.I’m just here to offer some friendly alternatives for other ways you could spend that money, provided you are able to hear them. I promise this has nothing to do with my general aversion to grandiose public gestures, and comes purely from a place of financial literacy.
