Are you kidding? I was once engaged to be married. At the time I spent about 2500.00 to buy her an engagement ring. One thing led to another and we didn't get married (Read she cheated). She did return the ring to me. 2500.00 dollars seemed like a lot to spend on a ring. Again, you were kidding about 25,000 dollars. A ring like that is nothing more than a trophy to show off to her mother and girlfriends. It makes you better than their boyfriends or husbands and sets the stage for future finnacial competition. You also said that you bought her a business. When will the insanity stop? Really now, the fire of a good relationship shouldn't be fueled with 20 dollar bills (or in your case 100's). Give careful consideration this purchase. Money can't buy you love. I'd pick my 87' Porsche 911 Coupe or my 6-year old Rottie (Loyal, obedient, loving, caring and friendly) over some money hungry ***** any day. Not to mention, the latter two will never break your heart.
