Chisoxrd5 Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 QUOTE(q\/\/3r+y @ Apr 5, 2006 -> 08:32 PM) You work with adults that make $10,000 a year? They live in their 1971 piece of s*** car? Unless you're living in a van down by the river there is no way you can afford living on your own with earnings of $10,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steff Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 QUOTE(whitesoxin' @ Apr 5, 2006 -> 08:32 PM) No you didn't say that, but you were talking about how $9,000 was not that much compared to other diamonds. If your husband thought $9,000 was too much money, he would not have bought that engagment ring for you. No matter how much money I make and how much I love my future wife, I don't think I could ever spend that much on a ring. I just see no point in wearing jewlery and obviously see no point in spending that much money on jewlery. If you take a walk in a jewlery store you'll be very shocked to see how much diamonds sell for. That's all the point I was making. As BS said, it's all relative. And if you wouldn't mind, I would appreciate it if you got off the subject of my husband's spending habits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter how much money I make and how much I love my future wife, I don't think I could ever spend that much on a ring. I just see no point in wearing jewlery and obviously see no point in spending that much money on jewlery. Its all relative based on income. Obviously someone who makes 10,000 a year isn't going to drop 9k on a ring. Hell I doubt they'd drop 1k, but I'm sure JR or some of these athletes drop a lot on there wives rings, etc. Plus it depends on what people like. Lets say you make 300K a year when you get older, wouldn't a lot of people say you waste money dropping 15K on some really good season seats, possibly, but if you like the Sox its not a big deal. You might as well enjoy your leisure time. Hell, I know if I get up to a certain amount anually (and right now I make decent money for someone my age, but nothing special since I'm not a full time employee) I promised my dad a court side ticket to a Lakers game (he's always wanted to sit courtside and if its for one game and I make half a mill a year (who knows if that will ever happen, but damn it I can be delusional and dream) than why not dump 2k on tickets that would put a huge ass smile on the man who raised me's face. Enough of this rant on how everything is relative. I need to go find me a job that pays me 500K after college. Anyone interested..ehh ehhh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could live on that If you gross $10,000 its more along the lines of $145.00 a week I know people that spend that much on food for themselves (they are body builders, but still, haha). That includes supplements too. But ya that would be rough. It stinks, there are people that have to live on that, but thats just more reason to be motivated and do everything you can to make sure you don't.

Heads22 Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 So, my grandmother has a ring she bought worth 11k.....she was offended when she bought a 20 buck cubic zirconium in a casino and I said it looked better than the diamond ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is roughly what Brain paid for mine (he made me pick it out). Chick showed us a $5K ring at first; no way in hell was I gonna wear a ring worth that much (I know how clutzy I am lol .
