<prompt> Human: Im planning on proposing to my girlfriend soon. Ive got everything already figured out, except for actually purchasing the ring. The only thing holding me back is money. I want so badly to be able to get her the ring. Ive spent months designing a ring thats perfect for her and found the perfect place to get it made. What Im really getting at is I need different ways that I can pay for it. I dont make a lot and what I do make is going towards surviving. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. EDIT: At first most of the comments wasnt what I wanted to hear, but ALL the comments are some of the best advice Ive gotten in a long time. Thank you everyone for caring.  <response>: Buy a cheap ring and upgrade it later when youre in a better financial position. Itd be silly to go into debt for a ring when it sounds like youre barely making it now.
