<prompt> Human: College student planning to propose this summer after graduation. grad in May, propose in June. I would like some advice on how others were able to save for the ring while in school or if short term investing is an avenue anyone took.  <response>: have you started? as far as short term investing goes, i cant think of many ventures that would yield you a big enough return to go down that path. whats your budget for a ring? whats your income? need more details.
