You rang? Lol

 

engagement ring mod procured wish me luck haha

I'd be lying if a part of me wasn't thinking about all the things I could have gotten for my truck with this money, lol.

 

LT would probably have cost more, haha.

According to the diamond industry, I should have spent 5x more on the ring (based on what I earn yearly) but her and I both agree that that's crazy and that money would be better spent on our own home in the near future, or children, etc.

 

your doing it wrong.....gotta be classy and steal her class ring and give that to her for an engagement ring!

but good luck brother!

 

This is why you gotta do it in the opposite order. LT first and then once that's paid down a little, worry about the ring. That's my path at least. Probably pay off another $2-3k off my long travel and I'll start shopping for one of those

 

Good luck Ryan

 

Get a Premarital agreement to go with it. 40-50% of United States couples get divorced. People change so you gotta prepare for that or loose half of your stuff later. LOL
Just kidding...Kind of. Good luck Ryan. I want an invite to the open bar wedding.

 

Am I a dick for writing that? I don't want to be a Debbie downer but I feel like that's good advice.

 

not at all, both her's and my parents are divorced...my parent's divorce was somewhat recent actually. Watching what that put both my mom and dad through was awful, and we (the kids) were adults...I can only imagine how hard it would be with little kids involved

 

Don't buy into what jewelers and wedding planners tell you, its all just a money maker to them. Do it how you want, I'm sure she'll love it know matter what! Congrats dude and best of luck

 

Figured. I'm always right.

 

What is the standard for how much you should spend? Percentage of your yearly wages?

 

The "old rule" is 2 - 3 month's salary, which is absurd IMO

 

That’s fucken willddd!

 

I wouldn't even hesitate helping you dig the hole

 

given, it'd be a shallow hole or one of those mine shafts.

 

Crazy. The dude that owned the coilover company Donahue was arrested for child porn too, dunno if it was before or after he sold it to Icon though.

 

That’s it...background checks before making an account on here!

 

Wow that sure did him in. Good ol public forum. Actually had good luck with the people I have ran into on here. Other forums not so much. Never go to a mazda meet those guys are creepy.
