HisRib: Common sense tells us A ring does not need to be expensive to be beautiful. 3 months salary is old school now! Buy within your budget, there will be plenty expenses come later to which that money could be better used on. Even using it towards/for a business makes way more sense. |

HisRib: As I mentioned above, in most cases the woman's ring should amount to 3 months worth of salary. I don't see an issue with a man saving up 3 months salary to buy the love of his life a beautiful ring. At the end of the day, these are the moments we will cherish and remember. It's all part of ROMANCE.You dey craze! Why you no kuku say make we use our life savings to buy engagement ring? Rubbish. 5 Likes |

HisRib: Whose tradition? I guess it's western tradition, fine! But it's the bride family that pays for the wedding, so a guy spending much on the engagement ring is not a big deal. Is your family paying for the wedding? Since you are highly sophisticated and exposed, how much cash are you bringing to this union.. $30k , $50k, $100k? 1 Like |

shakara4u: Well that's you. To each his own. A trip to SA or the Bahamas will last 5-7 days. I rather spend more on something I will wear for the rest of my life. It's the same as people who spend 24, 000 on a purse. If they can afford it, why not? If you can't afford it -- that's also understandable. 1 Like |

HisRib: A Colleague and I were discussing this topic & she said that normally an engagement ring should amount up to 3 months worth of salary. So if the man makes $5, 000/month, it should be $15, 000. I agree with her, after all it's a ring a woman wears for the REST of her life. It has to be a ring she loves. Men these days are just too cheap. Whatever happened to the real men who take pride in making sure their women are always well taken care of. Anyways, my engagement ring must be bought from Tiffany & Co and it can't be less than $15, 000. Know your worth ladies. I think I know what happened to the "men who take pride in making sure their women are always taken care of": They went in search of better jobs and since their women are not patient enough, they walked away. I am very happy with my wife right now and our engagement ring cost me N75,000.00 (less than $500.00), which I had to bear even when I didn't have a job. Like say she dey wait for N1.5m engagement ring, she for still dey her papa house. Anyways, I got a better job (twice as much as I was earning when I was with IBPLC) the day after our wedding and we are happy. So you ladies should be contented with what you have rather than chase shadows, you never can tell what tomorrow might bring. 1 Like |

@op 3 months savings? When did an engagement ring became tithes that you now place certain percentage on it? Have you wondered why you're still single? It's not rocket science, you're placing too much emphasis on material things. There's a friend of his who will do anything to have him for a $100 ring or none while you're there waiting for $15k.

So far this is what I've gathered -- there are a lot of broke bitter people on this forum. I honestly can't understand why people would get mad 'cause someone said they want an expensive engagement ring. |
