New House VS. Engagement Ring
Ok here's one for you girls!
So I have been struggling for a while with this entire marriage thing with my honey. He wants to get married but just on his terms. Whatever! That wasn't flying with me.
So I finally told him I was done and that's it ..... so he got a reality check and became instantly ready ... We went out and put this gorgeous gorgeous ring on 5 month lay-a-way.
So only 1 month left and only $400 to go to pay it of then the other 1/2 will go on our credit account.
Well, my property manager said they were going up on the rent. I had already been working on our credit and savings preparing us for next year or the year after to buy a house.
Well the opportunity surfaced and loan approved, we located a beautiful home thats spacious, less then 5 years old and was actually a model home.
It's been sitting on the market and we got it. Payments are the same price we're paying for rent now.
Only thing is... We have to use the money on my ring to make up the difference of the down payment.
Fucken sucks! :-(
But atleast I'll be able to continue to be a stay at home mom!
I still want my freak'n stink'n ring :-(

Or do you still get to make payments on the ring and just get it at a later date than planned?
We're cancelling the lay-a-way and getting the money back.
But at least you get a house. That's still great. I can't say its better. Lol. But that's just me. I couldn't buy a house with a "boyfriend". But then again..you're on the right track...at least you almost got a ring! I guess that's good enough effort on his part so...maybe I would be okay with the house over the ring. Maybe!
But @mimii36 who says you can't live in a ring. LOL
@ErikaK22 ... Yes, he said "honey don't worry about it we'll get you a bigger and better one." But I just don't see it happening. I went through Hell just to get "that one" on lay-a-way.
