Ok, in the last 5 months or so there have been PSers who have purchased their "the one" stone. First it was Mara, then Dreamer_D, then armywife13 and now ForteKitty (sorry if I missed anyone...I can't keep up anymore!!). I'd like to know how you convinced your DH in making this big purchase.
I'm a stay at home mom and obviously money will be tight but I will eventually go back to work (hopefully in 3 years) and start my diamond 'hobby'. However, DH doesn't see it that way. Like ForteKitty mentioned in her recent post, I'm very frugal. I do my own mani/pedi. I don't go to the salon very often. I do my own facials and other stuff to take care of myself. I don't have a gym membership (I run around the Rose Bowl). I try to save as much as I can. I recently spluged on myself (I temporarily worked part time this year) by purchasing some nice small OECs from Pre-Loved. But DH didn't appreciate it.
Is there some sort of a "boot camp" thread in this forum that I'm just not aware of? If not, I think it would be a good idea .
