get this squared away before you put a ring on her...finances and shite can be discussed and you can usually meet in the middle...but disciplining your kids is very important...if you have boys...you will NEED to be able to spank...


I did a multi stone deal that equals a carat....basically each little diamond is a 1/4..they are set so that it looks like one big one from a distance...she loves it...and it cost a fraction of what a solid carat diamond will cost...

What do I look for?


A good deal.

What am I trying to avoid?


Paying retail.

SO likes "vintage" style rings.


Jackpot. Look for family heirlooms that have been pawned for drug money and haggle down 25% or more on what the shop owner has it priced at.

She may be interested in alternative gemstones (like sapphire).


IT'S A TRAP. Get her a sapphire ring for her next birthday or something.

What should I be budgeting?


How much money are you willing to light on fire to appease this girl before it really starts pissing you off?
