Not that kind of wealth. She's looking for a gazillionaire.

I wouldn't an income of 400k+ be able to do that pretty easily? After a number of years of saving.

That's still more than 25% of someone's annual income. No, that's just ridiculous even at that income level.

Sure, why not? How are people this clueless and disconnected with finances?

We're not wealthy. We're middle class. But we do buy $150K engagement rings. YOLO.

She's going to make some man happy. Lap happy. 4 life. Oh yeah.

This has to be a joke.

Let me guess, she hasn't had many relationships either because of this standard?

She'll stay single.

It's true. They don't let you buy a house in Pimmit Hills without at least 3 carats on your finger.

Where IS that again?

All of her relationships have been short. Less than 6 months.

Someone smart enough to earn that kind of money is smart enough to not blow $150k on a ring. She needs someone who lucked into a ton of money, like a trust fund baby or someone who sold a business to Google. She'd do better in NY, LA or Silicon Valley. But she's getting old - she better hurry up.

If OP is serious- no. That is celebutant-level money for a ring. Rings are terrible investments, expensive to insure and easily lost or stolen. Only a fool would spend that much on a ring, regardless of how much they earn. A fool, or someone who's desperately insecure.

If the price of the engagement ring is that big of a deal, I share hope I don't know her. That is close to my annual income. I paid a little more than that for my house (a while ago).

No. I am in NoVA. I would not spend more than 15K on a piece of jewelry.
