Thank you for that great information. You know what, maybe I should just pay cash for it like I paid cash for my car and my house. I don't know what I was thinking. Stupid me.

So you found the answer to your question. You NEED a house, you NEED a car but do you really NEED jewelry you can't afford to pay out of pocket?

 

I pay my house cash each month (because I rent). I paid my car with a cashback credit card (and paid that back with money from my bank account the next day). Our wedding rings are worth $49 each from eBay and they're tungsten-carbide so they're gonna last forever. Nuff said?


I don't think he came for a lecture about his finances.  He asked a very simple question.  Maybe he wants to buy his wife or g/f something very nice for Christmas and he feels that's it's important to do so.  Not up to you to up judge .  By the way a car is not a NEED.  If you didn't have anything constructive to say maybe it would have been better not to hit the post button.


I agree.  He did not ask for our opinion about whether he should or shouldn't purchase jewelry.  That's his business.  He asked for advice about financing.

Was it me? Smiley Happy

 

I agree w/Julian on the tungsten carbide btw.

 

However, I do believe it IS the OP's choice as to what to spend their money on. And if it that means buying jewelry for a cost far exceeding the cost of materials, then so be it. It's their money.
