On the ring front, stay away from local jewelers. I bought my wife one for ~1700 total a few years ago. Found a .8 ct diamond on pricescope.com and shipped it off to this guy to set it in a cool as hell titanium tension setting for around $500. https://www.boonerings.com The tension set rings make the diamond look huge. She still gets compliments on it to this day for whatever that's worth. Do your research on the diamond if she insists on having one. The SI (small inclusion) categories are the sweet spot because they still look fine but come with a pretty big price break. Diamonds are dumb as hell but my wife still loves hers so I figure it was worth the relatively small investment.

As far as your budget is concerned, are they going to raise your pay when you graduate? 65k seems a bit on the low side for anything other than entry level engineering work. If you can get into that 80-90k range that would be a way bigger deal than fixing your budget. Its not like you have an egregious number of expenses you can easily cut Edit: just saw you graduated last year so the salary makes sense. Keep focused on your career and keep up with the student payments. Add any new pay raises to that debt and you should be in good shape in a couple of years. oxsnard fucked around with this message at 16:43 on Apr 26, 2014 |

Not sure why everyone is fixated on rent. $1100 isn't that much for any decent sized city. Where do you live OP?
