which would you choose within the next 3 months?

If you need a car, then clearly, you should buy a car. If you're choosing between a car and a ring, because you have ancillary income you want to spend, then I would go with a ring, particularly if its a diamond. The minute you drive a car off the lot, it can depreciate by as much as half its value. A diamond, by comparison, may increase in value over time, if purchased correctly. Using the last twenty-five years as a benchmark, a good quality diamond doubled in value.

A 35k jewel last for life. No contest.

35k could get my absolute dream of a life time ring (today that's a 3 ct ACC in a Single Stone bezel solitaire of some variety or a gorgeous antique setting). So I'd have to go for that! Wouldn't this be a fabulous dilemma!

For Hangout posters who don't wander over to Rocky Talk, DF has announced he has apparently chosen the ring over the car. ... unless he's getting both. :Up_to_something:
Yorum is currently cutting a 5.67 carat rough into an Octavia for DF.

The announcement is the sixth post in this thread ...

I took 35K for the ring PLUS 35K for the car, and I'm now driving my 70K "upgraded" car. If I had a 70K ring, only I would be enjoyng it, but with my new car, the whole family is enjoying it!

You can enjoy all the sparkles together along with your family... :wink2:
