Am I the only one who thinks 25k for a damn little ring is insane?

NO, i totally agree. It is crazy.

hmmm. Well, I would not accept NO ring thats for sure, or one purchased from a pawn shop or anything else.

As much as we would like to think that money does not matter in a marriage it does. IF he cant shell out or save up a couple of bucks for a ring; but he has enough money to drive a nice car, whatever, then that shows what he thinks of you and how important you are to him.

I would not marry anyone who could not afford to buy me a ring. If he cant afford it then its def. not time to marry. Money issues suck in a marriage. It takes more than love. You will start to wonder later on years later why he could not save a mere 1,000 bucks a ring. Its the one piece of jewlery you wear for the rest of your life!!

I just dont think anyone should settle for some loser who wont buy a decent ring claming any woman who wants to be special and treated more important than his car or TV or weekly beer habit as high maintenance.

So how much would you spend on HIS ring?

LOL I guess I must be hiding my true golddigging personality quite well, then huh?

I agree

you are a fucking tool

if money is what you base your relationship on then sugar, there will be one day that you are old and worn out and he will still have money, toss your ass aside and that little ring on your finger will be all you have.

fuck, seriously.. are you kidding? I sure hope you are.

Nope, you're not the only one.

What are you doing with a car ? Many things including going from A to B. And you can sell it and get something for. A ring ? That's like money spent at the casino. it's gone and serves no real purpose. I'd be pissed if my girl spent 5k on a ring, necklace or any jewellry for me. That money could be spent on a car/mortgage/furniture.

Agreed...I'd rather have the big flat screen, high def, tv.....

No, you are just the best at rationalizing and defending it

see that's not okay with me.

ITs important way to see how he feels about you in these ways.

You are not important enough to him if he cant buy you at least a 500.00 ring. I dont care who you are, if you cant save 25 bucks a week for a couple months, either you dont really want to marry her, or you are so bad with money you have no business getting marred.

he can buy a 3,000 TV and cant spend more on my ring?

I dont think IM materialistic per se, but a realist in how people are with money, and not that money buys my love, but if he cant sacrifice a little today to make me happy tomorrow....i dunno?

you are way to fixated on material things. If I wanted a 2k ring I would go out and purchase it on my own. If I wanted a 18k ring I do the same. Wtf does a value on a diamond have to do with the value of the love that is given to you?

You say money doesn't buy your love but in the same breath say if he can't sacrifice a little to make you happy? And you are actually talking about money eh? come one... I'd rather my man sacrifice time for me, That band that is on my finger is just second to the thought behind it.


Tell me, what more does a 20k ring bring to the table, other than a simple 200.oo band? Does it make said marriage any better? What does it prove besides bragging rights to your girls? If you love YOUR man and love him for all that he is or he isn't then that tiny token of appreciation will be nada when it comes to value. It is a token, something that is not forced to give but given out of love.

I would dump you if I were your beau due to your being so selfish. Karma though, it always comes back two fold. Good luck

I just find this whole issue funny beings I am the one that handed over the money for my wedding ring. I paid for it, picked out what i wanted... simple band, nothing crazy, and also bought his band. That mattered to me none, it was a band, a damn diamond... something that now sits in my jewerly box along with my first ring collecting dust. marriage failed, ring still there so tell me... what does that ring have to do with any of it? Not a damn thing. I wouldn't have cared if I had no ring, or a ring that cost 10x's more. Marriaged still didn't work, and no amt on any ring or material item would have ever fixed things.

I just bought my fiance the one that she wanted. Its very nice and wasn't too much money.
