A local girl took to Facebook to state that she would prefer a 500g gold bar that costs $40,000 compared to a diamond ring due to the low resale value. She stated that if her boyfriend mistreats her when they get married, she can sell the gold bar and get some money as compensation.
Here is what was stated in the full post.
“My bf and I have been together for 2 years and we have been working for a few years now. Recently we have been looking at engagement rings. After doing some research, I realised that diamond rings have very low resale value so I decided that I do not want a diamond ring anymore. I read that gold bars have high resale value so I decided that I want my bf to propose to me with a 500g gold bar which cost around $40k. He was happy when I told him that I do not want a diamond ring but he called me crazy when I asked him to propose to me with a $40k gold bar. He then asked me why I want a $40k gold bar and I said the gold bar would be like a form of compensation for me.
Like if he ever mistreats me in our marriage, I can sell the gold bar for some money as a form of compensation. After trying to persuade him for like an hour, he still insisted that the gold bar is too expensive. But he has $60k of savings in his bank so buying a gold bar shouldn’t be a problem for him. I’m sure he can afford to buy the gold bar but he is totally unwilling to buy one. Was I really crazy to ask for a gold bar?”
