Little did she know that PS5 has been out for years
Should’ve got a PS5 to account for interest
She must be an exec at EA, holding back features on PS5 because it’s too new
The guy could’ve then sold that for a wedding ring
is it wholesome to make unwise financial decisions to conform to arbitrary social standards? feels more wholesome to enjoy playing together on the playstation instead, you can get really pretty oxidized titanium rings for basically nothing.
Maybe they just liked the ring? They’re adults. If they wanna follow arbitrary social standards, that’s their choice
That was financially wise of her. Getting an expensive wedding ring and waiting for the PS to drop in price.
But to be honest, it’s wholesome that they both equally seems caring for each other, but not that they ruin themselves for luxury rings.This is called shorting and she’s now a mod of /r/wallstreetbets
This is such a strange photo to attach to a tweet, though. The one on the left shows the husband’s right hand in a unnatural position with the thumb all messed up. In the photo on the right, both hands look normal, resting on the game console box. His face is utterly blank. Could this be an AI generated tweet or post?
In the left photo he is holding his phone in his right hand close to his face, taking a picture of the gifts.
Also who writes “happy birthday husband” in a public tweet?
She couldn’t afford a ps5?
PS4 had PT on it, thats how he afforded the engagement ring.
Sorry to poo poo the wholesomeness, but you should not be selling your possessions to buy an engagement ring. You should be buying a ring that is within your income to afford. An engagement ring is definitely one of those “it’s the thought that counts” purchases. If it is not, that is a massive red flag.
But they had a PS4, wanted an engagement ring instead and sold the PS4 for money they could use to buy the ring. Seems… fine to me? You don’t have to hold on to everything you own.
Completely agree. Plus, with a wife, who has time for Playstation anyway
With a wife you get an extra controller silly
My girlfriend passes my progress in any game I introduce her to. She’s twice the gamer I am :/
My 4yo can kick my ass in Smash. What have I created? What have I become???
You don’t have to spend that much for a ring if just wanting a ring is your concern. You can get a ring for like 20$ on amazon if having one is all you care about. If he didn’t want the PS4 anymore why buy him another one?
I mean you shouldn’t sell your car, but selling what amounts to a toy, in order to buy a bit nicer ring than you can afford, is a good way to get some extra cash AND show that you’re in it to win it.
Emm no. It’s an empty gesture in a system that hijacked it to say “more expensive more love”. Don’t buy an expensive ring, period.
This is an item that might be used every day for the rest of your life (even beyond your life). You wouldn’t spring for a slightly better one? Moissanite exists, as do lab diamonds if you want to go cheaper and look the same.
Definitely pay more than $500 for something that may outlast you. If you or your spouse doesn’t like the ring because it’s cheap, that’s a worse deal that spending thousands on something that you actually use.
Imagine a ring that costs $10K that is worn every day for 10 years. It looks amazing. $2.74 per time worn. Now imagine a ring that costs $500 that’s only worn once a month for sentimental value. Over 10 years that’s $4.17 per time worn. It’s more expensive because you don’t like wearing it.
No, I wouldn’t buy a ring at all, since rings are a cashgrab.
I can also imagine the 10k invested into something actually useful instead of a futile gesture. Imagine being pragmatic and not buying a trinket by selling your other belongings.
There is no reason to buy a 10k ring.
All luxury items are a “cashgrab”. You don’t have to buy any of them. If you wouldn’t buy one at all, why are you commenting? I don’t wear a watch, but I also don’t go on threads about watches and say “I wouldn’t buy a watch at all”.
Forget about money, I think you need to invest your time better.
I’m commenting because I can, and you can’t make me not comment. I can voice my opinion, you can do with it what you will, other than prevent me from saying stuff
Fuck that. An engagement ring is something she’ll have for the rest of her life. You will never be able to give her an engagement ring for the first time again. Stretch a little. Show her how much she means to you. Yes, it’s materialistic, but it’s also important to most women.
An engagement ring is something she’ll have for the rest of her life
The rest of the marriage**
We picked our own because we each have to wear it every day, might as well like it. Been together a decade, married for 6 years. Sometimes big sweping “romantic” gestures are for the movies.
Yeah my wife saw her ring before I paid for it. But I still spent a decent amount of money for it. I sold my paid off car and financed a used car to pay for her ring. I don’t regret it one bit. We’ve been married for a decade and a half and she still adores her ring. Different people are different though, and you should know what kind of person you’re proposing to, long before you propose. My wedding ring was $30 on Amazon. LOL. It’s just a titanium jobbie that works perfectly for me.

I wanted a new car anyways, and rates on car loans are way better than rates on credit cards or jewelry loans. How is using equity from paid-off assets being bad with money? She’s happy, I’m happy, and we’re doing well.
