I think the Tiffany ring I mentioned earlier was something like $30k. My brother-in-law is a managing director on Wall Street, and three months of his salary is way more than that. I don't think spending "three months" really happens very often at all.
To the ordinary working man no as 3 months it's too much, but for your brother in law I'd be surprised if that comes close to a months salary LOL
Meh, the three month salary thing I'm sure was something that the jewelry industry came up with,ain't no way in gods green earth would I spend the equivalent of 3 months salary on a piece of jewelry, that's obscene.
I'm thankful that Mrs. Chow has modest taste, she always seems to like stuff you'd see on Etsy or some site like that, she's more into "natural" type things, but I suppose a big fat azz rock could be considered "natural" too.
3 month salary is very doable for a lot of guys. If you minus taxes, bills, beer, burritos, housing, etc (whatever is left over ) that would roughly equate to $2-10 x 3=

I think the estimate was "before beer and burritos".

You certainly have an obsession with the engagement ring threads. And sorry, but you're not that special, and are not in a minority when it come to reciprocity in relationships. No matter how hard you push your agenda to make it seem like women spending money on their men is as rare as unicorns, it isn't
You have an obsession with rings too as you always pop up in these topics as well. People rarely bring those topics up or have threads as long as this one appear every week about women those things, do they? Of course, there are exceptions and those who don’t, so what. Each couple does as they see fit.

If I was in a relationship where I didn’t do my part I would certainly use that line. Next time a woman complains that her man doesn’t do house chores we can tell her that.

Ages ago or not it is something you won’t have to consider anyways, you will get to receive it only and from what we were talking about yesterday it seems like something you consider important to the point of dumping a man with good qualities if he dares himself not to give you that piece of jewelry.

And, if I was in a relationship where someone felt that I "should" be giving them gifts of equal value, or splitting things down the middle, or any other tripe of the sort, I would definitely be using that line as I said goodbye.

I don't see any reason why "we" wouldn't.
