[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These rings are so expensive!

Do all these men have family money to spend? Or are high earning lawyers?

My BF who is about to propose to me sat me down and told me he cannot afford a nice ring for me so he will get me one for like 2k. It was hard to swallow.

Your BF is a good guy.  I would stick with him.  He is not overextending himself, trying to be something he is not.  He means well and when ready he can always upgrade someday.  I was in my 30s when I bought my wife's engagement ring.  I spent around 20k on diamond solitaire but I was making 200k+ so it wasn't a huge deal.  I could have gone bigger and more expensive but didn't.  Why?  No point.  It wouldn't make her any happier than she is.  Money is great and nice rings are awesome too but doesn't keep you warm at night.  [/quote]

It's so hard to take your advice seriously once I read that you spent 20k on the solitaire. At 20k I would hope that your wife is happy and wouldn't need bigger or better. At 200k+ I don't blame you for spending 20k, but don't try to relate to the poor guy who confessed the truth of his financial assets where he can only afford a 2k ring for the PP. [/quote]
