I mean if she wants one for $200 she's welcome I guess
---

Lol no. I spent $640 on it

Was moissanite

I spent $4500 on my fiance's Tiffany engagement ring back in 2014, which was like 2 salaries at the time.

I wasted thousands on an engagement ring once. I'll never do that again.

I spent a little less than one monthss salary (take home pay)

ouch...didn't get it back?
---

she'd just leave me anyway so no

Dont get married.... Trust me.

$352,000k on a ring? Outlandish!

kidding, kidding, LOL. But no, 2 months of my salary is still too much for a ring

Should've got a CZ ring instead of helping a rich guy buy another yacht and profit off of people who are worked to death.

Spent $5,000 back in 2014, which was about 1 month's salary at the time.

Oh no, I've just bought the ring. Bought it back like in May

No way and if the person I was with was that materialistic then we wouldn't be getting married in the first place. I got my wife $250 for engagement and wedding ring in a deal and the ring she got me cost $100. $350 all in.
---

i spent $10k on my wife's, what a waste of money lol
---

And you guys get mad at me for spending 2k on a watch...

---

I spent about 2k. My wife isnt big into jewelry anyway. But if she wanted a 10 grand ring then I wouldnt have married her.
---

I spent about half a months salary

She's buying me a ring. I'm the winning lottery ticket in the relationship.
---

no i spent about 3 grand on it. still too much IMO

Yeah, I'm actually smart with my money. I wouldn't spend 2k on a watch or a ring.

What money

---

at the time is was, but now i'd be able to just buy it in a weeks pay lol.
---

I'd spend up to $2k on a quality custom piece (she'd probably get hella mad at me for spending that much), but I'd also spend as low as $500. I just want to get her something unique and high quality. She doesn't care of how much it will cost, and neither do I for whatever I get. Would rather spend the dosh on a nice vacation making memories and having lasting experiences.

I would never spend 2 months salary. When I imagine someone even shelling out $5k I start to wince and shake my head.

Most western people won't even remember nor care about that tradition after another decade.

Marriage rates are sinking like Atlantis.
Unhitched life offers most of the same benefits with fewer risks and investment.
Women have been the primary proponents of marriage since the 1960's and even some of them are starting to give up on it lmao.

Did you know that divorce rates in the US are actually dropping?

Because a large of portion of millennials are not even bothering to get married. They don't value it. And a lot of their children won't either.
---

Imagine being that guy that spends a shitload on an engagement ring, you or your partner calls it off, and they keep it lmao

The best part about this is how despite having an alleged monetary advantage, you struck out on Saturday night and I had a girl over.

Nah, diamonds are a stupid scam that need to die out.

Dropping as a % or as a number? As if it's the prior then might indicate that people used to get married on a whim without really thinking about it.

She'll have to propose to me because I'm a bottom and sub in multiple aspects of life
---

I spent $450. She was very happy with it. Problem is I lost it when we moved into a new house and was painting. Told her to give it to me because she was covered in paint. Put it in my pocket. We believe it fell out of my pocket when taking out my motorcycle keys when getting more paint.

I'm probably probably going to have to spend more this time when I do replace it.
---

Nah, my fiance's boyfriend has that covered.
---

I spent like $100 on it. Cubic zirconia and she still gets a shitload of compliments from random people and her snobbish materialistic family members think it's worth thousands lol
---

No. My wife was the one that asked me if we should get married, I said sure, then she kept looking for a sweet deal on a modest engagement ring/wedding band set until she found one she liked for super cheap.
---

Yeah I spent roughly 2 months salary on my wife's engagement/wedding rings
