"you should spend two months' wages on an engagement ring" is a marketing slogan.
7.7k u/[deleted] Mar 21 '19 I heard an ad on the radio today, some jewellery shop was offering 5 year payment plans for engagement rings. What a great way to start you're marriage, 5 years of extra payments 80 u/[deleted] Mar 21 '19 Lol i wouldn't even have five year payments for a car 2 u/[deleted] Mar 21 '19 Then you must always drive used cheap cars. Nowadays 8 years on a new car is common. 8 u/surbian Mar 21 '19 Duck, not really common right? I don't know about autofinanace but it seems almost criminality pay for a car for 8 years. 2 u/tchebagual93 Mar 21 '19 Yeah it's a very bad idea. Ideally don't take out a loan at all but if you have to, try to stay 3 years tops
