so if you make 20,000 consider spending 1000
30,000= 1500
40,000 = 2000
50,000 = 2500
60,000 = 3000
70,000 = 3500
80,000 = 4000
100,000= 5000

one thing i liked that my dad did is he asked my grandmother what to get my mom. She said not to get the ring or if so just to get the band and tell her that you will go let her pick her own ring so you know you get something she will like.
