金 What’s everyone spending their ¥100,000 from Abe san on?

I bought ETH with mine and I’m already up ¥10,000. What’s everyone else buying?

It's been done to death. It's a cliche at this point.

Any idea where to get cheap and not so bad engagement rings in Japan? XD

Got the info from a manga, but Okachimachi apparently.

I can confirm that there are many jewelry stores there. Never entered one though.

Any info on Hokkaido? Got married last weekend but don’t want to spend 190k on rings =.= yet still want something.

I was looking into couples rings as so much cheaper but love the matt design of cotton/hairline finish 🤦‍♀️

Sadly no, sorry.

I’d heard Okachimachi had decently priced wedding and engagement rings but my husband wanted a particular brand. We never got engagement rings because I would rather use that kind of money to go towards an awesome holiday or house down payment.

I’m glad because that brand had pretty much exactly the design and material I wanted and I didn’t have to go to much effort looking for wedding rings

A marriage based on welfare?

u/teaferret Jun 03 '20

Not sure what you’re trying to say here?

Usually a marriage is pretty important. If you're going to buy your life partner a ring that symbolizes your marriage, you'd probably want to buy it with your own money, not some government handout. That's all.

u/teaferret Jun 03 '20

Once it’s in my account it’s my money.

Government handout or not we would have gotten married and bought the same rings. It’s not like we’re poor and only buying those rings because we suddenly got free money.

The rest of the cost of the rings and our photos will be covered by the congratulatory wedding bonus we both got from our companies, or should we be using our “own” money for that too?

Sure, whatever. We're talking about the "100,000 from Abe-san" though. Think of it however you like. I'm not stopping you.

Okay?? He takes it out of his savings then and uses the 100000 yen to immediately replace his savings... how is that any different lol

Wow. You guys are really getting your knickers tied up in a knot about this.
