I thought that was just a myth propagated by jewellery companies
trying to screw more money out of people? It's supposed to be about the emotion and intent behind it, not the size of the rock. If I met someone I genuinely thought I wanted to spend the rest of my life with, he could propose with an onion ring and it wouldn't matter.

i think de beers started the myth
in theory i agree with you. in flippancy, i am obliged to point out that nobody with any brains would want to spend the rest of their lives with a twit who couldn't even afford a decent ring, so it's academic...

I wouldn't want a waster (again) but being broke doesn't necessarily mean a waster

i was joking
but i kind of agree. it has nothing to do with family money or what they earn now. it has everything to do with drive, brains, ambition and being hard-working.
