Two in three Americans agree that engagement rings have gone from a symbol of love to a financial burden.
Wait, love is dead or alive?
Yeah, because he said before it was alive, I have to live on the spectrum.
They studied a whole bunch of Americans.
74% of them said they'd rather start married life debt-free than have an expensive engagement ring.
And the old three-month salary rule is fading.
Americans are spending close to two months' salary on rings, which is still, like, a lot of money, right?
Yeah.
So, yeah, that's our question.
Our cookie little poll is, do you think an engagement ring should cost three months' wages?
No, it should be less.
84% of people who responded.
4% said, no, I think it should be more.
Although maybe they just clicked the wrong box.
And 12% said, yes, they do think an engagement ring.
Yes.
Some people do want an expensive ring.
They are materialistic and they are, you know.
You don't need to be spending that much.
