Some people says a man should spend 3 month salary when buying an engagement ring for his woman.
Some says, he shd spend 8.5% of his annual salary.

So to you, how much is just enuf

I am just asking based on what i read in the papers and based on what conversation me and some dude had.
Ofcourse, the ladies like the idea that, the more the better.
Leave uncle chaircover alone oh . . . . .he don try jare

Most people definitely spend more than 8.5% of their paychecks

I am not saying it is sensible but most people I know have done it

Cut your shoe to your size don't say femi use 8.5% of his annual pay so you too want to do so ore it's better think before you do so,

chaircover:

ummmmmmm - I'm not so sure about this.

I'm just thinking, will most guys on £30,000 PA spend over £2,500 on an engagement ring?

I suppose another factor to consider is if the guy buys the ring outright or buys it on credit

hell no as the ring would be in the bracket of 7.5k - 10K
i will def be comfortable with something between 1.5 - 2K if and when i do take that bold step

As long as the price is affordable, I don't think it's ever too much.

I think the man shd evaluate what the woman worths and buy based on that . . . .

That will cause serious katakata o, before she starts asking you ‘is this all am worth to you?’.

I will say consider you income and other expenses you both have.

BTW, Fhemmy have you bought one before?

I was just kidding when i said, u need to evaluate the woman`s worth and how much you love her.
Yes, i have bought before, but i bought it at $$ Store . . . . . .

I know you were kidding

so what % of your annual income did you spend? what was her reaction? and is she still wearing it?

Now that i looked back at it, i think i over spent, cos it cost 2 months of my salary, but then, i wasn`t a graduate then, so my salary wasn`t that much.
bruhahahahahaha.
She loved it, wear it all the time, but i developed cold feet

Why spend crazy money on an engagement ring?

Is it the engagement ring that will make the marriage work.

It is not the ring that will make it work.
But here is my take, what your woman wears or have on is a definition of who you are.
remember the woman never asked for the ring, you were the one that decided to buy it for her asking her to marry to you, so buy what you think she is worth.
If you like buy from $$ Store.

i think its d intentions dat matter,spend whatever u can at that point in ur life as long as u intend to upgrade wen tings r better.@fhemmy u dev cold feet? u are a heartbreaker.

@ topic

I hope she won't mind selling the ring when things go bad.

Fhemmmy:

lol dnt care as long he luvs me , but a real man will never do that

Sebi na just ring?

I'm definitely not spending an arm and a leg on a ring.
If she's not happy with the price tag, she can always give it back.
Better still, she can make it up with her own money.

simples!

A real man will buy what he can afford and since he loves u and wanna do it right and all he can afford is 1$$ + taxes, so he will still love u with it now.
