A big part of diamonds is marketing. That if you are not putting one month’s salary away for that special stone then you are not strongly committed to marriage.

My wife was pragmatic. I said we could put $5k on a stone that has no intrinsic value or $5k on FNILX at time of marriage and take a blast of vacation one year later when it’s turned into ~$5500.

She chose vacation and we had a blast in Europe. Good vibes per dollar spent is where it’s at.
