It\u2019s finally that time! You\u2019ve been dating for several years, and every one of her family members has told you repeatedly what an amazing woman she is and that you should marry her. You know you love her with all your heart and can\u2019t imagine life without her. You know you want to spend the rest of your life with her, but recent car problems have put you in a severe financial bind. Having limited funds for the ring of a woman\u2019s dreams is an age-old problem, and in some cases, it has made men put off a long-overdue proposal.<\/p>\n

So let\u2019s assume for a minute that you are one of those guys. There\u2019s no shame in it. In a tight economy, more and more people are living paycheck to paycheck and finding that coming up with that extra bit of cash for a proper engagement ring can be quite difficult. If times are tough for you, there\u2019s no doubt that your girlfriend already knows it, and she\u2019s not expecting you to present her with an expensive diamond ring. She knows you love her, and chances are she just wants a symbol of your eternal love and commitment.<\/p>\n

As promised, I\u2019m going to give you five fun and romantic ways to propose on a budget, but before I can do that, we need to figure out how you can fit an engagement ring into your tight budget. Shane Co. has engagement rings available in a wide range of prices. In fact, you can get a lovely solitaire for as little as $1,000 to $1,500. One of the many benefits of buying a ring from Shane Co. is the trade-up policy: if the ring you select today is not exactly what you want her to wear for the rest of her life, you can always trade it up at a later time for something else, and Shane Co. will gladly give you full credit for the original purchase price.<\/p>\n

So how do you get a nice ring for around $1,500? In this case, you\u2019d have two options for the engagement ring: either a smaller diamond\u00a0or a larger white sapphire. In both instances, you will always have the trade-up option available to you and Shane Co.\u2019s Free Lifetime Warranty<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve bought an engagement ring<\/a> that you\u2019re proud of, it\u2019s time to plan the proposal. Now what? Let\u2019s look at some ways you can give her the romantic, unforgettable fairytale proposal that she\u2019s dreamed of all her life.<\/p>\n
