Engagement Vol: Its Time

So was the fact that diamonds are actually worth something, but try telling that to a lot of women when you try to go ring shopping. That is NOT the time to have that discussion. :lol:

I proopsed 2 years ago, my fiancé knew ring type/size she wanted but I didn't spend that 3 months worth of salary.
 
 
wow.. 

I'm fortunate with money. But if a chick presents a prerequisite with regards to pricing... effff that.. She's outta here.
Wasn't a prerequisite just her being like if I'm taking your last name you better drop that 2-3 month salary and she knows what I make lol.
So she's doing you a favor by marrying you?

Glad you dropped her. Let the next guy take the L.

No, she just wanted to keep her own last name on the feminist tip.

I'm most excited about not taking on that 45k of student loans :pimp:
 
F that asking her dad for permission steeze

Real dudes step up and be like, listen here b I'm marrying your daughter. Deal with it :smokin
 
So she went to an Ivy and expects a lot from NT brother @Ecook0808
?

Sounds like a great potential wife. You dodged a bullet and $45k that YOU would be paying for her.

:lol:

We went to the same school lol.

That debt aspect is no joke. She just had to pay for her last year...

A lot of people don't realize you take on EACH OTHERS debt.

They need to do a study on this....

but my hypothesis is that the higher the cost of the ring, the shorter the marriage lol :nerd:

No need for a study. When you over extend yourself in the begining of the relationship with an engagement ring that practice is continued until eventually it begins to tear at the marriage.
 
So are men also expected to pay off college debts of thier wives?
I believe its up to both parties to develop a financial plan to tackle all debt they are bringing to the table. That way you can figure out who has the best health insurance, savings plan, and what have you to maximize income and pay what you owe.

Hopefully this is done before you propose and you understand that marriage is a partnership. And if its just student loan debt and not crazy amounts of credit card debt then how much can you fault her? She invested in her future and can hopefully maximize that ROI.

If she racked up massive credit card debt, that needs to be taken care of before we get married. Hopefully it was for expenses along the lines of car repairs or medical bills that put her in debt and not just a spending habit.

 Once you get married, you share joint assets and your are joined together as one body. Either way, those loans will need to be paid off unless you go into the marriage planning to divorce (which is just planning to fail).

One of the biggest causes of marriage failure is money fights. Both parties need to be on the same general page how to handle finances. Otherwise your chances of getting a divorce are pretty high.
