[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this is an issue of compatibility (and nothing to do with how much the OP loves him as others are suggesting). There are men who love the idea of spending at the top of their budget for an engagement ring and would willingly spend way more than $10k with a salary of $400k.  Seems like OP wants that guy.  If he's not into spending more than $10k on engagement ring with his salary and OP feels that's a problem, there are likely going to be other issues surrounding spending down the line.  I think money compatibility is a HUGE issue that love can't always overcome. I would suggest pre-marital counseling for OP and her intended.[/quote]

This. They aren't going to agree on the house or car budget either. [/quote]

Exactly. She will want private school, the more expensive house, the luxury car, bc of his salary. He will have a lower budget in mind. OP, how long has he been earning this salary? It matters whether he's been earning like this for 5+ years and investing as a single man during a bull market has millions saved already, vs whether he just got to this salary and is thinking about your future as a couple/downpayment etc. Also, who is paying for the wedding, is it your parents?

If he is sitting on millions already and won't spring for a 10K ring he knows you want and plan to wear every day, prepare for him to hold the purse strings tighter than you would like for a loooooooong time.[/quote]
