Hi everyone,
I'm going to ask my girlfriend to marry me. I couldn't be happier.
But, there's the ring question. I'm a software entrepreneur. Sometimes I make money, sometimes I lose it. This year I'll probably lose about $250K. It turns out that jewlers won't pay you $40K to take a ring from them.
Luckily last year, I killed myself and made plenty of money. But, I have no idea what to spend. My girlfriend and I love each other and she'd be happy if I got her a toy plastic ring: We're very modest folks. But, my theory isn't that the ring matters to much to her, it's more of a signal to her friends. So, I figure I should get something nice.
If I wanted, I could drop half a million on the ring and not sweat it. But that would be plainly absurd. If we're traveling, I'd worry someone would cut of her finger. But I don't want to do something cheap either.
So, dear answerers, what do you think is reasonable? No sweet "whatever would make you happy" answers please. Thanks.
