Can't afford to propose to my girlfriend, so today's day 21 of Good Dashing for a $6,500 diamond ring. But what's my New Year's resolution? My girlfriend doesn't dream big. She never had a dream car. She never had a dream college. She's never had a dream job. She's just not wired that way. She doesn't ask for much, and she's always grateful for what she has. But she does have a dream ring. The one time she let herself want something. Really worst something. It was this ring. And when we heard the price, she said we should find something cheaper. That's just who she is. She shrinks her dreams just so she doesn't inconvenience anyone. So what's my resolution? To help her dream better, starting with this ring. Money one day's in. $902.13 out of 6,500. Follow to see how long it take.
