A not wealthy class mate of mine is sad because his girl friend wants it to be celebrated !
Kindly don't compare it with Christmas or any other religious celebrations.

Wealth and true love couldn't be more polar opposites - they don't go hand in hand. It's sad how society emphasizes the commercial aspects of all holidays, especially Valentine's Day. A colleague of mine who is very happily married told me he and his wife exchange cards only as their Valentine celebration. He explained he'd rather do little things for her all year rather than one big blowout on 2/14. It's not how much you spend, as how you express your feelings. Your class mate can give his girlfriend a beautiful experience without dropping a ton of cash. Little love notes tucked places she will find them, candles, home cooked meal, bubble bath..

Valentine's day is a day for romance, and to renew your relationship.
Christmas is a day to promote peace on Earth and goodwill towards men. It is a day to renew ties to family and friends.
I don't hold either as very religious. The secular side of both holidays is the stronger one. Though, both have become too commercialized.
BTW, your friend doesn't have to spend a lot of money to celebrate Valentine's day. He can just take her out on a nice date or bring a flower and spend the evening with her. He doesn't have to go to the fanciest restaurant or spend a $100 on a dozen roses. The only thing he has to celebrate is her.

My sympathies. It has become so business like . A thoughtful card or note would have been enough.
