Touche!

(PP here. And by "Beyoncé," I mean "unless she is already a gazillionaire mogul" and can easily afford that ring on her own and brings a lot to the table."

Her parents must be so proud.

Or, "if you like it then you should have put a GIGANTIC ring on it..."

Am I wrong???

Well, not anyone's DH, so yes, you're wrong. People differ. I don't wear rings, because I don't really like them. I own relatively expensive (not anywhere near 150K :mrgreen jewelry, but it's collecting dust in a security deposit box in a bank. My cousin, OTOH, loves trinkets and walks around like a heavily-decorated Christmas tree. To each her own.

Plus, pray tell, where is she going to meet this guy given that she's late 30s, probably in a nice job but not one where's she's regularly around these types, and lives in Loudoun? At the 7-11 in Purcellville?

She sounds like a true peach.

One who equates love with money.

40 is just around the corner. Maybe time to re-evaluate her priorities while time is still on her side.

I hear that Executives prefer Royal Farms.

All the big ballers are just looking to pick up some 39 year old accounting managers at the Food Lion.

However, I want to know your thoughts. Thanks.

I don't know her situation or what she or her family has to offer a spouse, but I do know people with $150K engagement rings.
They keep them in a lock-box 99% of the year and wear a more modest ring or band most of the time.

There are plenty of high income and wealthy people who have considerably less costly rings. Gaudy, nonfunctional jewelry would really have to be your thing if you opted for a $150k ring over a collectors watch, new car or series of vacations.

Love to hear OPs opinion, she seems really into her question....

Ha ha ha, op, you must really value frivolous suitors. You think most people with real money are stupid with their money.. Or even advertise how much they have?

I'm leaning toward believing that if this friend does exist, she doesn't actually care whether or not someone ever gives her a 150k ring and is more likely just emphasizing how uninterested she is in marriage. The slow revelation of disparaging details about the friend's life sounds like OP just wanted someone to echo her own disdain for the friend.
