I haven't fallen for anything. If you clicked on any of the other CP links provided about engagement rings you'd know exactly how much I spent on my wife's ring. Would I spend $10k on a ring? Heck no. I wouldn't even spend $5k on a ring. That doesn't mean others shouldn't ifthey wantto and can afford it. People work hard fortheir money so they can spend it however they see fit. If spending $10k on a ring makes them happy, what's wrong with that?
Maybe you shouldn't spend $100 for dinner and wine spend a more reasonable $30. Instead of that $40k car, maybe buy a used $15k car instead. What's wrong with your 32 inch TV? Do you really need a new 50 inch? Why buy an ipad when you already have a laptop?
