What I should have stated originally is that I could afford both but would still like to live comfortably, as I am doing now, and not be living on a paycheck to paycheck basis. After doing an in-depth budget, I have cut out my miscellaneous expenses and will free up some small bills by paying them off in July. With that extra cash flow I will be able to afford the car payment, my studnet loans (which BTW will not be going away anytime soon lol), rent, buy a ring, and still have some left over for personal expenses. I greatly appreciate all the tips, advice, and inspirational comments. Thanks!!!  |
I might be able to help you out! I have a loose white diamond (1/3C) I will sell to you dirt CHEAP. You would have to get it set, but that is fairly inexpensive and easy to do. I also have a 2.5C red Labadorite heart shaped stone..which is AMAZING...not a diamond, but very different and could be used to make a stunning engagement ring..sell that too you dirty cheap too. And since we are both in SATX I can show then to you at one of the TGIF meets. I do have another set (my original set) not sure if my heart will allow me to part with it..since it's my first set from my hubby. I ddnt get the "expensive" set till our 7 year anniversary. We didn't spend slot of money on all that stuff..just a simple set and the JP. When you love each other those things don't matter.... PM me if you would like to see what I have. To a fellow SATX C5 member in love, I'll be willing to practically give them to you.
Let me know!
. And congrats! The hubby and I are on 10 years next month!
