A lot of broke babble in here. Don’t marry her if you’re not gonna get her a great ring. Yeah, we all know it’s a con but you want her to feel special right?

All this “if she rides for you it doesn’t matter” is horse shyt.

Me & my girl are shopping for an engagement ring. The rings that she is interested in are less than 3k.

Not sure whether to pay cash or finance on 0% interest.
Your call but I would look at it holistically with the incoming wedding cost as well. Can’t finance those directly so them bills will be due :francis:

Old rule of thumb was 3 months salary but we are in clout chasing era so all that is probably null and void and a fugazi with the advent of fake jewelry that can make it look like u spent much more :yeshrug:

Is that gross or net :lupe:
Gross but I believe that was a standard set by the diamond industry so it benefits them.

Having bought one recently:
  • Research and find a good jeweler
  • Good see them solo and get an understanding of how engagement rings and their buying process works
  • Take your woman with you after your initial meeting (and the time is right) It will save you a lot of headache and potentially $
  • Not all women know what they actually want so better to include them in the process than buy blindly and get something they don’t want or possibly spend more than you have too.

If you spend 2k on the engagement ring then I’m not goin to the wedding unless it’s down the street

2 years later and still true.

Imagine spending $50 on ubers to and back from the wedding, giving $150 to the happily married couple as a gift, then realizing you spent 10% of the cost of the engagement ring for that occasion

Wishing yall the best! Was that something yall agreed upon? Like shopping together for it? Or you told her so it’s easier on you?
May you please elaborate more on this. Curious if there’s more to it than you just having more money
