Why do women want such expensive engagement rings? Was talking to a few girls I know and they said they expect them to be in the $10k -$15k range. Seems a bit outrageous to me honestly - don’t get it.

I have a colleague that left her fiancé because he cannot afford a Harry Winston engagement ring of $50K. I asked why, she said all her friends have rings at that price range therefore she thinks it’s normal to have a ring like that. She spent her entire salary on luxury bags and shoes. She is over 30 and her 401K account has less than 10K.

Her fiance dodged a bullet with that one.

One of my best friends married his wife about 6 months after I married mine. I bought my wife a $1,500 ring and she bought me a $10 ring which I love it. My friend’s wife wanted him to spend $15k (imagine that) on a ring and he did it. She bought him a $3k ring with his money because she did not work. My wife and I have been married for 15 years and we have a beautiful family (sorry but I had to brag about my family) and my friend’s marriage only lasted 3 years. My friend’s ex wife kept demanding material crap (luxury car, very nice house) while they were married then complained that he was always at work and did not pay attention to her. She ended up cheating on him and they got divorce. I am not sure where I was going with this but bottom of line is to find a woman/man who is reasonable and who will partner with you to have a prosperous life.

Hi, I just got an offer for a rotational program post grad. For the most part, I will be working at the city where my family and SO is at but they mentioned that I’ll have to relocate for 6 months to another location. Honestly, I don’t really want to do that, I would’ve been fine if it were frequent visits (rather than moving). Any thoughts or advice on how I should negotiate this? Or should I just accept the offer and negotiate this later when they finally ask me to relocate?

Have money invested in S&P 500, and now starting to regret not having diversified to international stocks as well. Would want to diversify now to buy a total stock market index, however since S&P 500 dropped more than that index, not sure it’s worth to crystallize losses to do that. The alternative is to stop buying S&P 500 and start buying other markets as separate ETFs, to eventually bring in line approx. with total stock market index. Any advice on the best course of action?
