So lately BF and I have been talking about money a lot. He''s just started earning proper money and he''s setting up his savings funds and his pension yadda yadda yadda. And at the weekend he announced that he has a designated engagement ring fund!!! And I had no idea about this!

I mean, I knew he had a savings account but I figured it was just a general save-like-a-demon-for-everything savings account. But no, there''s a separate engagement ring account!!! And he says he has a target amount at which point he''s going to start looking!

The funniest part of all was him laughing and staring at me in amazement like ''How could you think I didn''t have a special fund for that? What do you take me for?'' Um, I thought you''d come to the point where you decided to buy the ring and then you''d go looking, and oopsie, get a fright at how much they cost???

That is FANTASTIC news, babe!!!! I''m so happy for you!!! I''d be absolutely over the moon with happiness to know my guy had started one of those, for the reasons to follow...

Funny you mention that, since that''s exactly what *did* happen with my boyfriend. He was talking as though any ol'' weekend we could go pick up an engagement ring, until I broke it to him that they cost thousands, not a hundred or two, and that people have to save up for them. At which point he got all closed off and said that it was "basically impossible," before he''d even tried to save a penny. I didn''t find that very encouraging.
