Get what works for you. How hard is that?

If you present your girl a simple band with 3 small diamonds and she throws a bicth fit or you find out she's salty about it behind your back then a red flag should pop up saying "Bushes!!!"

No point in spending big money on engagement rings when you're gonna be spending money for the next year or so trying to pay for a wedding anyway.

My step dad said he spent 3 month's salary on my mom's engagement ring and my dad said he spent 2.

Stupid shyt. FOH. fukk I look like working 3 months. 5 days a week, 8 hours a day to buy a ring. Mawfukkas will have 0 in retirement saving but spend 13k on a symbol of "love".

People are such slaves to "tradition" . The ring is spouses to stand for commitment not status so what you spend should be irrelevant.

They're both idiots. To make such a large purchase to measure up to some contrived societal norm.

fukk a shiny rock though..that is all it is ,whitey can put a price on anything and sheeple will gladly come up with ways to justify it

My girl tried to tell me she deserved a 30k ring cause I can afford it.

Off the strength of her having the audacity to say some fukk shyt like that if I do marry her she's not getting a ring at all.

I made my wife pay for her own damn ring told her back when we first met that i wasn't with that shyt. Still give no fuks about it either

Or maybe they just wanted her to have a really nice ring.....

And having a "nice" ring is dictated by how many months they worked to purchase it? Your as stupid as them is see.
