[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The ring might feel special or the thing to do now, but gets old soon, and I'd skip it altogether or get a fake one. The rings are so yesterday, only the sellers are still pushing them. Open a 529 for you kid and call that your engagement (ring/present).[/quote] I like the idea of taking the money and doing something symbolic with it (opening a 529, for example). Or make a contribution to a joint retirement fund, or early mortgage payment, or down payment savings account, or honey moon fund, etc. But then, I'm not a ring wearer and our engagement ring cost only $150 -- it is my birthstone (no diamonds). If you like to wear rings, and look forward to wearing your engagement ring every day, spend enough to get something you like but no more than you have in your checking/savings account and would spend on a vacation.
