jh1 said:I have a nice house, I splurged on an awesome HM @ the Ritz in the Virgin Islands, and I bought a rediculous ring. 2cts, plat setting, double eternity bands.
Fuck me. I am stupid.

Frisky said:I was told to tell you to mail me that ring... and also, could you hook a sista up with a room at the Ritz in the Virgin Islands?
I gave my ex everything in the divorce, I just wanted out. I can make more money.seaking420 said:So who has that ring now? You are divorced right?
jh1 said:Bitch kept the ring.

nefertiti said:She'll probably sell it for a different kind of rock eventually.
Frisky said:wtf?
How the hell could you allow her to keep my ring?

Plus 25k in cash money and all the furniture etc.seaking420 said:Thats true, but still sucks to be out 12k +
lmfao
jh1 said:Allow her?
Shit... she had possession of it. She wouldn't give it back. It's either sold or in a safety deposit box at this point.
Too much case law to try to get it back, apparently it's a gift. Property of the bearer....


javaguru said:I gave my ex everything in the divorce, I just wanted out. I can make more money.![]()
p0ink said:yeah, she already did say yes.
i wasn't worried about that. i was more worried about having a heart attack buying the thing. i just honestly do not understand why this shit is so expensive.
Phaded said:11 grand.

Phaded said:man i made an entire thread about this back in the day.. i got her exactly what she wanted.. and she gets comments everyday on it..

jh1 said:Time for a manicure, orbly.
I love sexy hands... gotta be on point... specially while they are wrapped around my shaft...

Frisky said:dood... any man looking at my hands that hard while they were wrapped around the shaft of his dick would end up with bite marks on his nutsack. You should be checking out her roots to make sure its not time for another bleaching. Sheesh... you guys...![]()
jh1 said:Bitch. STFU and get ur knarly knuckles worked on.
Then come over.
manny78 said:I hope you know that one day, when she fills out the papers for divorce that 11k will be lost forever...![]()

yonkers weights said:I got my fiancee a plat band with 2.3 cts. round cut, flawless in a square setting. Yes, round in a square looks sick!!! Plain but big. Ring is amazing if I may say so myself. I paid $23k and got it insured for $31k. It is flawless. My friends hate me cause now they have to try to follow my lead. Suckers!
yonkers weights said:My fiancee is not flashy in anyway. She would of been just as happy if it cost $10k or even $5k. She is not a gold digger in anyway. She is very low profile, I guess that why I spend money on her. She is great and does not expect it so she gets it. My last gril wanted everything and expected it so she got shit!
Where we live and who we hang out with, material things matter. In NY it does matter where you live, the car you drive, the clothes you wear, etc... Play the game. That's why I work hard, so I can play hard!
manny78 said:So if you paid 23k for a ring, what di you pay for your house ? 1M ? And you must be driving a Benz E serie (at least).
vixensghost said:Flawless? Very few diamonds are flawless. VERY RARE INDEED.
Most people do not carry a "loop" around with them anyways.....
BIKINIMOM said:Precisely why my hubby busts his ass to give me everything.... and then some.
And I can also identify with the second paragraph because of the industry my husband is in. NO ONE is going to hand you a check for hundreds of thousands of dollars to invest with you/your company if you are driving around in an old Chevy pickup and you are wearing a wifebeater and pants that hundreds of polyesters gave their lives for. LOL
The cool thing is that once you reach a certain age and you have the life experience to back you up, you really dont care about impressing anyone with "flash".... you can shop at Target and put your 3 dozen long stem roses in a 20$ vase and no one would suspect it as it is in the grand foyer of your 5K square foot home.![]()
In other words, you have gotten to a stage in your life where it isn't about impressing anyone anymore, but about comfort and getting what YOU like.
Phaded said:again my wife gets comments every fucken day about how beautiful her ring is..
and i def didn't break the bank..
investing 10-15k in a ring is not a big deal newbs.

BIKINIMOM said:It is all relative and no one should say Jack Schitt about what YOU CHOOSE to get your lady... If others hate on you for it then that says EVERYTHING about how they view themselves.
I will have my ring one day but till then I have everything that I need because I am worshipped DAILY by the man of my dreams.![]()
yonkers weights said:I am only 30. I look young. I need to carry myself a certain way to let people know I am the real deal when it comes to their business banking. I have to dress the part. I hope in time I don't have to keep up and can start slowing down. Like I said I want to retire before I am 45. My goal was 35 but that's not happening.
yonkers weights said:If all goes well. Make the right investments, work hard and of course run in the right circle. People do not realize how important that last part is!!! I would not be where I am if I did not spend time with certain people. The right place at the right time. Timing and people are everything. There are people who bust there ass everyday and don't make a lot of money. Because they don't make a lot does not mean they don't work hard. It is all about seeing an opening and going for it! Put yourself around the right people and things fall into place.

Whatever your means are, live within them. No one will be impressed when you are flat broke and filling out forms for bankruptcy.
I have no credit card debt. The only debt I have are my mortgages and my car. That is one way to save. Pay cash becuase that means you have it. Just my .02
