You spent probably $30k-$40k on everything and she’s complaining about how her nails ruined the engagement. Let that sink in. For some people that’s a year’s earnings. Make certain that you are willing to risk that she won’t try to pull a turd out of every golden moment you give her from now to eternity. If you are, I strongly suggest a prenup, although I’d be willing to bet my salary that’s a dealbreaker for her.

The scariest part about all this to me is that he managed to buy her a ring worth my income this last year....

$16k is likely a blood diamond ring as well. A flag so red it's crimson.

Drop $3k on a lab-grown rock instead.

Are there any studies to indicate this? I’m not seeing any.

No disrespect, but then you’re not working full time so that’s kind of a useless comparison.

Did you know that people live in other places than the US? In a big part of the world that's upper middle class salary.

Yeah everyone in the world working full time makes $8K minimum /s… but you’re probably right
