I proposed to my wife with no ring while living in a 1940s duplex apartment at the age of 19. She said yes. 2yrs later we got married. We went to Walmart to pick out our wedding bands. Her wedding ring was $35 mine was $45. We've been married for 14yrs next month.
My husband took me to the jewelry store before we got engaged on a whim and I told him all the things that I didn't like in a ring and found a ring setting that I kinda liked except for the metal color and told him the diamond shape I liked. Well he blew it out of the park picking a ring and Diamond. I have no idea what he spent (and honestly don't want to know), but for me the reason why I love it so much is because he told me the story of all the hoops he had to jump through to find the perfect ring. So the ring is a representation of the effort he put into it because of how much he loves me. And that is why a ring is important. It's not necessarily the ring it's what it represents. Especially if you put forth the effort to figure out what she loves. It's not about what you want its about what she wants.
Love how the couple from Fargo speak. Our salary, our daughter. This is really amazing to hear. Way to often it’s still the my or his or her. They are truly in it together and it shows
@@dougprentice1363 The lyrics he references are most likely not always a statement of his own taste in music. I am quite sure at times he is just trying to find a way to relate to the audience.
I like him too. He's like that friend that tells it like it is and you still like him. Not so much Dave and George. Ken's a really nice guy, but I think he'll kick your behind too if it gets down to it.
In regard to tuning in every day or frequently. Here is a cross comparison. There are some people in some form of 12 Step Recovery from alcohol or drugs etc that continue to got to meetings decades after they have sobered up. They not only do this as a reminder for them and to help keep them in check, but also for others. They are trying to be part of a larger community and helping to encourage others and out sponsor others. I've also seen people at 12 Step meeting that never struggled themselves but had a family member that may have. Deposit personal politics about Bill Wilson and whether or not he was a processed Christian at least some of the 12 Step and Oxford principles were based on faith based principles. The was a man named Jesus who seemed to have fondness for trying to help heal broken people or lost people. Appreciate the Love Thy Neighbor attitude that some of the guests on the show and hosts have. I have been in a state of severe emotional stress and shock for a very long time. This was probably severely wording my memory condition. I can see things getting a lot better in the future. Praying for God to help see me through this.
5 years together and my wife's ring was 250$ that she loves. There is no right price and only your dreams together matter, not what others expectations of rings/weddings are.
Same! 5 years later, our 3rd child is 3 weeks old and we are still in the honeymoon phase. Our wedding cost less than $1k and I gave my hubby a $300 cap on the ring...because at the end of the day, that's a piece of metal with pretty rocks and it has no effect on our dedication to maintaining our love and our relationship.
@@tigar0485 we eloped with only my parents and 2 little siblings there. No wedding dress or cake(sorta one a month later) and it cost under $500 for the preacher service and marriage license. We'll have a family only vowel renewal someday! I look forward to it 😊
I’m assuming he had provided for his family with a good life insurance policy. Thank goodness they had gotten to do their first debt free scream together so he at least got to see a partial result from his part of the work to pay off his mortgage 🥹 . Wishing her and her children comfort and strength as they grieve their loss 🥰 3:46
The 18 year old young woman who left home can probably make an appeal to have her FAFSA status updated to not be tied to her parents income. This could help her to qualify for financial aid - grants, not loans - based on her small income. She may need to seek an attorney for some guidance.
@@reneespring834 it's been so long since I made this comment I had to scroll back to the show to find the reference point. She had to leave her parents home due to an unsafe living condition. She can make her case in front of the judge and more than likely be legally separated from her parents for the purposes of FAFSA. I can't remember exactly what leads me to believe this from a past experience but I was a foster parent in the past and strongly believe that exceptions can be made in an extreme situation.
@@lindaburnside3832 I have also been a foster parent and worked for child protection in my state. It is a gray area because we don’t know the exact situation. Difference of opinion, parents not the greatest, etc vs. actual abuse. If this was established prior to age 18 and she was emancipated, it would be black and white. Like a foster kid, or a grandparent custody. Just really complicated, and the young people in these situations usually don’t have the resources to work it out. We have one in my extended family that is a total heartbreak situation, I tried to intervene without success. 💔
🙋♀️ Saw the title and it reminds me of my MIL. My FIL always hoped to leave a legacy for the Grandchildren. He died in a nursing home leaving my MIL $100,000+ in savings, a nice house and no debt. The problem is that my 83 years old MIL is trying live on ONLY her Social Security so she can honor his wish to leave that money to the grandkids. The grandchildren all have decent jobs. How do I convince her that she deserves decent shoes, hearing aids, weekly breakfast at McDonald’s with her friends and other basic needs EVEN if she spends a bit of that money. ??
Andrew in Milwaukee... look into Moissanite. It is lab created stone that has a wonderful radiance to it, more brilliant than a diamond!! They have minimal impact to the environment, no mining. I am 49, married 3 1/2 years, together 5 years. My engagement ring center stone is 3.1 carats with 1 carat of baguettes (6 stones) on the sides. I got the big, flashy ring I wanted, my husband didn't have to break the bank, which I also wanted. I get SO MANY compliments on my total 4 carat ring that cost less than $4,000.
I proposed to my fiancé (and of course he said yes lol) and I got to pick out my ring. The budget was $5,000 but I found the perfect one for under $3,000 (on sale) and it had the band with it. I hate the “engagement ring has to be blah blah of the income” BS.
So important! It's not so much about price but style. We have to wear it for the rest of our life - make sure its a design she likes 😅. I did this by spamming my husband with engagement ring links and he got it right haha. As Dr said...don't go rogue!
Hoarders' houses do not have walking room, every surface is covered, garbage is saved. Collectors are different. Collections are usually organized and specific.
The passing of her husband was a hard listen. But that there was the whole reason Ramsey does this. Cant get more real for anyone, and they are set on strong roots to keep on living.
For any other Canadians, for the retirement account it’s worth considering that the TFSA amount can be used in later years if you don’t use it this year but RRSP can only be used for one year then you lose that limit.
@@damonsteinke599 yes, if your annual limit is 20k, you can only deposit the 20k within that year and the next year you'll get another allotment. TFSA deposits can happen every time, if you don't use it one year, your limit next year will be bigger
I rather take the money for an expensive ring, wedding/wedding reception/wedding dress-tux & a new car put it altogether & invest it in purchase a home/rental,a business, stocks, invest it or put it in a high interest savings account.
TFSA is not the same as a Roth. In Canada, because taxes and benefits are high, it generally makes sense to max out your RESP BEFORE the TFSA, especially when you are above a certain tax bracket (above 100k/family income). This will increase your tax return and all types of benefits throughout the year (family benefits, etc.), and it will free money that you can then reinvest in your TFSA. Best strategy = max out RESP each year, than fill up the TFSA. Whatever interests are produced by the RESP, reinvest that in your TFSA. Also, take your tax return and put it in your TFSA.
This is especially true in Qc because taxes are so high. The more you earn, the more it makes sense to try to get in a lower tax bracket (especially if you are earning just above a lower tax bracket).
My 24 yr old son told us last night that we suck being married. We ere egging each other on for a playful manner when he said that. I told we must being do something right because we have been together 37 yrs.
Take the girl with you!!! She’s wearing it everyday let her choose. Talk out the price range of course and get your marriage started communicating right.
My husband took me to the jewelry store days before HE bought my engagement ring. I didn’t want to be with him when he actually bought it for me, so instead I showed him 2-3 rings to give him an idea of my likes. Yes, I was a romantic and always dreamed of my fiancé giving me my engagement ring in a romantic setting. A few days later he took me for a nice dinner and then we drove out to the beach and walked to a lifeguard stand. As we sat under a moonlit sky he pulled out my ring. He actually had picked the set that I would have picked out for myself 😊. For our 25th anniversary we went on a cruise and while in st Thomas, we upgraded to 1/2 carat diamond in my original set. We just celebrated our 45th Anniversary 💍🍾💞 4:00
I feel sorry for the girl. Don't tell her it from a pawn shop. She want like it. Have somebody you know what diamonds are worth. The pawn shop will lie to you. Be very careful.
I would recommend never umpiring on TV. MLB lost a lot of viewers because of Angel Hernandez. So glad he's retired. He never got past the first stage of development in his mother's womb

I grew up in Dyer. Both so sad and happy for Debbie and her family. Rest in peace Ryan.
Doc is by far the best of the personalities. His show is amazing. Very smart man
And he's funny. But his taste in music lyrics is terrible.
@@dougprentice1363 No! He's a Social Distortion fan! I respect that. ;)

Mine was 150.I didn't care that he could not afford an expensive ring.19yrs and counting!!!
I believe it was $115-120 off the internet. We're coming up on our 4th anniversary. And I'll give birth to our 2nd child 2-3 weeks after.

Impossible. FAFSA doesn’t care if you are estranged from family, you are irrevocably tied together

I got my wife's wedding set from a pawn shop. I saved a ton, and I didn't even need to get it resized.
Inspired in all possible ways.... for sure I am awaiting my testimony
Another amazing episode! Dr Dave and Dr D is a great pair!
I find so silly investing thousands in a ring. But that’s me! 🤷🏽♀️
Even worse;I find it silly to spend thousands of dollars on a wedding
I always watch your videos; you guys are the best! Take care!

You don’t lose the limit with rrsp….

The same is the case with RRSP’s. If you don’t contribute this year you could make up for it next year with a larger contribution.
Both TFSA and RRSP amounts are carried forward every year.
I mean unused contributions.
I rather take the money for an expensive ring, wedding/wedding reception/wedding dress-tux & a new car put it altogether & invest it in purchase a home/rental,a business, stocks, invest it or put it in a high interest savings account.
A Texan on the debt free scream. Way to go!!
Costco is also good place to get a solid rock without breaking the bank.

I learned today, that Delony is scared of being hit by a meteor
I would have taken a pawn shop rock...if the diamond was huge and the design beautiful! Absolutely!
