<prompt> Human: My girlfriend want me to buy her an engagement ring. I graduated college in May this year Im 24 and have been working for 6 month making 32K a year, bring home is 1844month. My bills include..Rent - 325 we split the rentCell - 100Utilities - 100Gas - 200Food - 200Student Loans - 104 I owe her around 900 for a computer that she put on her credit card and I have a credit card with a 300 balance that Im actually about to pay off. I also owe 2700 to an apartment complex that sued me a few years ago after I was evicted after losing my job. We dont have cable, but use internet provided by the apartment complex we live in. I have around 1500 in collections, mostly medical bills that I got years ago when I didnt have insurance. The ring she wants is 4K. Thats more than I paid for my car. My credit isnt all that great, so I wont apply for a credit card to buy it, but I suppose I can save for it if I decide I want to get that for her. Ive told her that Ive only been working for 6 months and even though I should be getting a 13 raise here soon, its still sounds like a silly thing to go for when I have these other debts. How ridiculous is it for me to try and buy that ring for her? Also, my tax check should be around 1500. I was thinking I could offer to settle that 2700 debt with the apartment complex just so I can get it over with. Thanks!EDITCorrected the fact that its not a buy me this ring or else situation. Assistant: This is probably going to be a better question for rrelationships but financially youd be dumb to buy her a ring that expensive at this point in your life. If she really insists on it, despite knowing all the facts, shes probably not a right partner to build your life with, cause your and her financial goals and priorities couldnt be further apart. Human: She isnt going to hate me if I dont buy that one for her. Im sure she would accept anything I give her. She isnt greedy and has a level head when it comes to finances. She just really wants this particular ring. Its not going to end the relationship or anything.Thanks for the response!  <response>: She isnt going to hate me if I dont buy that one for her. She just really wants this particular ring.She may not hate you, but you sound pretty damn sure it needs to be this ring. And it also sounds like she wants it to be right now - despite her financially level head.Im in total agreement with this being a rrelationships question. There is a bit more going on here other than money.
