Being a financial consultant, and never having been married, allow me to ask you this: Has the car ever demanded something from you, or have you WANTED to do things for the car? I have learned the GREAT LESSON my friend, and it is this: Cars love you always. If there ever is a problem, you can throw a little money at the situation, and if properly handled, you will never hear from it again. (I don’t think the same can be said for a bride.) Cars are there for you to admire, to show off so your friends can admire, they take you anywhere you want to go, any time, and give you that long lasting satisfaction that comes from having a soul mate.
Now, if your girl meets similar criteria, and she loves YOU and wants to be with you yet "wants" a $25K ring (for goodness sake) that she can show off and brag about, there is a very simple solution:
Tell her the ring is on order, and that you want her to finish your car. The ring should show up as soon as the car is finished. This will do two things: keep her happy and let her know where she stands in line of priorities so that the car never becomes one of those things she wants you to sell when she wants a new kitchen.
Good luck. God Bless. Keep the faith. Keep the car...
