This is for my(30M) fellow men in relationships. How much are y’all spending on engagement rings, honestly. I have a huge distaste for the diamond industry as a whole but I understand this is part of our culture. The whole 2-3 months of income rules sounds completely absurd to me. I bring home about $10k a month and to think about spending 20-30k+ on a piece of jewelry that can look the same to an untrained eye as a $3k piece is out of the picture.
What were some of you guy’s train of thoughts when approaching this?
