Thoughts on buying another engagement ring? I’ll pay for it myself

Long Story short the one I have is white gold and I now only wear yellow gold so am not wearing it. What if I bought another one in yellow gold? I miss seeing a diamond on my hand but I appreciate that it’s not really an engagement ring if it’s bought after the engagement

Her grandma from biological dad’s ...

I’m a SAHM and my husband got a Christmas bonus. What are people’s views

Gifts for teachers?

Am I the only one who will never do this? I can’t afford to get some family members or friends gifts but also no one ever bought me a gift for doing the job I’m paid to do 🤷🏼‍♀️

Is it bad I haven’t bought presents for my kids to open on Christmas Day? More context below!

I have a 20 month old and a 4 month old. For Christmas we are going to my inlaws who live 3 hours away. There are at least 6 people who have bought my children presents to open on Xmas day and I genuinely think that they don’t need anything else! I feel like at their ages it’s a little pointless to take bags of pre...
