| Topic | i want to propose to my girlfriend but how am i supposed to afford a ring? |

I bought an engagement ring/wedding band set on Amazon. Together, they cost less than $500. I then took my wife to a local jewelry store to get it sized for her. I also managed to keep our wedding cost under $1000. We just bought 2 $10 silver wedding bands. lol. It's funny tho, after a while those cheap bands had such sentimental value that when my husband misplaced his after a swim one day, he was very distressed and spent quite a while in the pool hunting for it even tho he could have just gone and bought another cheapie silver ring. I find that memory 10000x more lasting than if he had spent 3 months salary on a bejeweled engagement ring. My father actually made my mother her wedding set. Bought a small diamond then made the rings/setting from scratch. Mom prized it because of the work and thought that went into it. There are places you can do that as a more commercial customer venture, these days, I think. --- "Brain and brain, what is brain?!" -- https://catzigger.imgur.com/ (98% FF-XV) ...
