A common rule of thumb is 3 months salary

I don't make much money at all. . .and the ring the potential Mrs. ydarg wants will cost me around 6k. Don't know how to even go about getting that kind of money together. I think it's pretty selfish for a girl to want/expect that type of ring from you if she thinks/knows it will put immense strain on your finances. A girl is also shooting herself in the foot in that scenario, since your finances are about to merge. And then there's the whole wedding thing. If she wants a $6K engagement ring, what kinda wedding we talking about here, and who's paying?In the next year or two she will not be hurting financially. She wants a low cost wedding. From what i gather the money she thinks needs spent is on ring and dress, and what I think needs spent is on DJamer and booze. We haven't delved too deep into the who would pay considering I haven't actually asked yet. I'm confident about her answer. . .but I don't want her to open the little box and be disappointed.
