Thinking of getting married?
- Thread starter Paul1000RR
- Start date
These kind of girls cheating is Ok.
But then again birds of a feather flock together, who am I to judge?

Why would anyone ever assume and expect their parents to help them out? Seriousy. What a bunch of spoon fed spoiled people we have.
My mom makes as much as many 2 income families make. I never received a penny aside from a roof over my head and food in the kitchen. The day I was done highschool she had me paying rent.
When it comes to buying a home, I would never ask her for, or assume she would offer me any money... And I assume that when she passes I get nothing.
And that's just the correct thing to say. If you got nothing, you might want to think about your relationship. Of course by then it'll be too late. And I assume I'm right.
Dont be bitter just cause your parents aren't willing to help you out in life.
There are plenty of parents out there who do help their kids out, after all they're their kids.
A diamond ring is an investment? Unless you got it from a thief for chump change i find that hard to believe since the crazy mark up on jewellery these days
No its not me lol
However i do know the guy and this ad is 100% legit

But percentage wise mark ups on other items is WAY more. The truth of the matter is nothing sold is worth anything... everything is perception.
A cup of large coffee costs less then $0.10 but sells for $2.00
A nike t-shirt costs less then $1.00 but sells for $29
A Luis Vuitton bag costs $10 to make and sells for $1500
Bike dealerships say they dont make money on sales?? then they must be the only business on earth.. My uncle owned a lada dealership in Europe and sold $3000 ladas for $8000 but the public was told they make money only on repairs and maintenance..
I have been in business since 1999 and i know by now in every industry the product costs nothing compared to sell price.
But we created this...
The only thing of value really is skill and labour

there is certainly a lot of different ethnic and philosophic differences in peoples approach to this ring business and family deals. At a certain point jewelry is worth money because there is a market for 10k pieces just like vintage rolex. But it aint kijiji.
I cant imagine a relationship where my parents or inlaws aren't leaving me everything, in fact in our estate planning I'm transferring ownership of houses and joint signatures on acct so rev Canada gets the least amount possible.
My mom would loan me money for anything, she financed my first race boat in fact, why give a bank interest when it can stay in the family?
Some of you guys have , in my version of reality, odd relations with your parents, and your girlfriends.

Not bitter in any form. Why would you EXPECT help from anyone as an adult?
It's great if parents help out their kids, its nice of them to do... However, kids shouldn't be expecting it.
It's not that I have a bad relationship, my mom is just very focussed on her personal finances, and that's her business.
In the end it turned out a kid that was self reliant... I was also that 6 year old kid that could get himself up and ready for school, arrive there, and get myself home without my mom needing to be around. I was just expected to look after myself. And there is nothing wrong with that form of parenting.
Now, I know my grandma has something aside for me. What it is I don't know, but the only reason I am aware of it is because she has told me.

Raise your kids to be self sufficient. They will therefore not "need" anything from you when you're gone. If I choose to leave something for my kids, bonus for them. As it is there is a lot of $ going into their upbringing and education. Maybe I'll just retire and live on what I've earned and saved throughout my life (minus what was stolen) and the kids get no monetary inheritance. My choice....as it is my parents.
Divorce or taxes??, these are the only sure things in life.

best reply in this thread.
bump for homie tryin to ride again
When I show my wife my car rims and aftermarket levers she says she wouldn't spend her money on it but understands i enjoy it. She enjoys her ring and I enjoy my toys. And tbh diamonds and gold hold their value longer then aftermarket bike parts.
I feels no ways spending $6000 on her ring because she is very supportive to me and I sold my first bike to pay for it.
I was able to buy these two right after my wedding this year.
