A bridezilla before the engagement … A woman has gone viral – and not in a good way – after taking to social media to complain about her engagement ring -- before it was even given to her.
The woman went on Facebook to post a picture of an engagement ring she found in her boyfriend’s nightstand – and complain about how disappointed she was in his choice. In the post, she wrote:
Ewwwww. Self shame Friday here I come.
Found this in the BF’s nightstand. Not a fan.
Please roast and then tell me how to tactfully say no you need to go get something different.
Someone copied her post to Reddit – and needless to say, people had some choice comments for her. (Independent)
How much cash (if any) do you carry on you? According to a new survey, the amount of cash you should have on you is … $200. Why $200? Because it’s enough to handle a standard emergency – like if you’re at dinner and your credit card gets declined. Not surprisingly, not many people carry around that much cash. A survey from Money magazine found that 42 percent of people carry no more than $40 in cash, 30 percent carry between $41 and $99, 17 percent carry $100 to $199, and just 11 percent carry $200 or more.
