I don't have to do anything but that's what I'm talking about with relative incomes and their experience. I def have lived a very very very very very privileged upbringing. I don't have to acknowledge anything though, but it's healthy to do. From my POV the idea that anyone can demand someone do that is it's own privilege. That shit was a no go when i was growing up.
We're talking like $100 found or saved somehow over a long timeline, you can get a gold ring for like $20 on amazon rn. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=18k+gold+ring&crid=1EWF45BZOXJOC&sprefix=18k+gold+ring
For a wedding or engagement this sounds very doable, it's between 2 meals instead of sandwich only at a fast food restaurant or 10
Here's a nice looking one for $100 https://www.amazon.com/Womens-Classic-Wedding-Brilliant-Expressions/dp/B07YCQJ8PJ. Is it something everyone can just buy? No.
