It's not rare but the value is a mixture of scarcity and it's ability to conduct, it's ease of working with to produce things in electronics and it's incredible ability to fight off corrosion unlike many of the other precious metals
Before now with paper money, and electronic money, gold was a store of currency because there was enough of it to go around but not so much of it everything could have it
So rare no. Valuable yes. We actually use gold in tons of things that aren't frivolous
Peep your gold plated hdmi chords and the reason why being gold plated is important vs nothing we use daily or simply for diamonds

Ok, "valuable" as in it's usage, but not monetarily expensive like it's market and sold to be as jewelry.

Peace,

To some extent, I see where you are coming from, but money doesn't equate to good or happy relationship/marriage. Everyone's priorities and value on objects differ. I'm assuming you literally mean a lack of funds and not just saying I don't see the value in spending my money on certain things.

a lack of money can put stress on a relationship, but it's easier to build wealth especially as a unit than it is to find someone you really care for regardless of their short comings. A lot of people would probably be better off married financially speaking especially if they really couldn't afford to blow $25 on a ring alone.

We’re having two different conversations. Obviously money doesn’t equal happiness. But if you’re buying your woman a $25 engagement ring because that’s all you can afford, your focus should be on creating financial stability as opposed to getting married. I think one of the major mistakes that men make is putting our careers on hold so that we can lock down a woman.

Right value is value
The jewelry market is the limited market if we didn't use gold for chains and rings it'd still hold value and be expensive because of its actual usage and properties

Maybe
Also what if someone bought it strictly cause it was on sale tho? I love a good deal and my wife should love that I love a good deal lol
Means we'll have more money to do other things cause we shopped great

In theory, sure. But a $25 engagement ring isn’t a good deal. That’s more like a complete waste of money.

This is something I preach to both young men and women. I'm not against building together and having a common goal for financial stability. That's how my wife and I do.

But far too many times I have seen people do exactly what you said. Too much focus on the other person when they don't even have themselves situated.

Especially in today's time, you have to get yourself together first.

Exactly.

I should have been clearer in my first post.

I think he's saying that financial stability is easier to get as a married couple, if you marry the right one.

Gotcha. I also didn’t communicate effectively in my first post.

What's so funny is that the 25.00 ring is a crap diamond based on the 3 C (color, clarity and cut) but a person will walk into a BS jewelry shop with Moshe telling you that he has a beautiful diamond for you for $2,500 and it will still be crap based on the 3 Cs but he has all sorts of tricks in the store to make it look so nice. He will even trot out a bullshit Certificate saying it authentic...ugh. Let's not even talk about the even more "expensive" diamonds costing $25,000 or more because you can afford it more than its worth it -

Bottomline - get something that looks nice and that she likes and don't get caught up into cost because nothing you pay for it will be even close to what its worth (not much).

This is what me and my wife did.

I have as much hatred for the diamond monopoly/industry and the way its brainwashed men and women as the next cat, but if all you can afford to spend is $25 on an engagement ring, you’re not in a position to get married.

I'd beg to differ. You can "afford" damn near anything in today's society, is it a smart buy is the better question??? I don't think the kat that bought his lady a 25.00 engagement, is anything but a dude that a cheap ring...

This is coming from someone that JUST spent 3500 on a ring my fiance, and it was actually on sale when I bought it. It was partially about my own ego, part guilt because I talked her out of an actual wedding, and the last part was out of love. I'm being completely honest in admiting that it was about me showing off more than any of that sappy shit.

Marriage is about business above all else, and the guy that didn't waste money on a trinket has the right idea. Why spend 3500, when you can spend 25.00 and get the same outcome???

Why is it that only niggas worry about this type of shit enough to make videos for the internet? I’m really starting to get annoyed with a lot of my own people!

Fuck Kat jewelers and that ring...it’s more important shit that we should have trending
