About this episode
The episode discusses the evolving perspectives on engagement ring spending and the importance of relationships over material costs.
Financially, the old “three months’ salary” rule is fading. Most people today spend closer to two months’ pay, and many think even that is too much. Younger generations are especially moving away from tradition. Some say they’d rather: choose a cheaper or non-diamond ring skip the ring altogether and take a trip or even get tattoos instead Long story short, the relationship is what truly matters. If you can remember that, the price of the ring shouldn’t matter all that much. Check out the conversation for more! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
