so your parents pay for everything?

ok

i'm in medical school and i live at home. my grandparents bought my parents house up front so theres no payments there. they started our insurance policy in 1985 and my parents are under them and i'm under my parents...since we've had this home/auto policy for a while with zero at-fault claims and i got a good student discount, my insurance is pretty cheap...i'm not 100% positive exactly what it is now, but it was $200 every 6 months when i first started driving 4 years ago. my parents agreed to pay that. i got a full ride to college so the S2000 was a gift in my senior year of high school and they paid up front so no payments. i was got in to an accelerated medical program so i finished college in 2 years and when i applied to med school, i got in. it was a dream of both my own and my parents that i get in to medical school, so they were proud that i got in at 19. once in med school you really don't have time for a job and my parents know this so they said they agreed to support me until i finish.

If the Tiffany jewelry is for your 18 year old wife just get her some cubic zirconia, she'll never know the difference. She's just grateful to be out of the basement anyway.

I've purchased many things from Amazon and their sellers, at prices that were so much lower than other places that I was sure I'd be ripped off, but so far everything has been legit.
ever bought any clothing/jewelry? everyone selling the tiffany ring i want to get us has like 2 or 3 ratings at the most

first off, Tiffany's is definitely more expensive than every place else. I personally don't think anything they sell is worth it. You're paying for the name. I've looked several times to buy my wife something from them, whether it's a charm bracelet or necklace or something. For our anniversary, i looked to get her a necklace, and a sterling silver Tiffany's necklace i wanted was like $400. i went to Kay and got her a white gold one than looked just like it and some little diamond earings for for the same price.

People may not know how hard you have to work to be in 6 year med. Kudos. Don't let anyone tell you different. I am impressed and I don't impress easily. As far as the Tiffany, sure it's overpriced and so not worth it.....to us, but women dig that stuff especially because other women covet it.

My wife has a collection of the small necklaces and for her first mother's day i went to the rodeo drive flagship store and dropped a 1000 (i had no money at the time) on a 'tiffany diamond' it's a little speck, but she LOVES IT still despite some huge ass non tiffany diamonds I bought her later.
