Dear Woosy,
For months, my boyfriend and I have been putting aside money for a place of our own, but last night he brought up the idea of giving me a pearl necklace. While I must admit I’m quite flattered, I feel a bit guilty considering that we’re trying to save every penny for our future home. What course of action should I take?
Confused
Woosy says – There’s no reason for you to feel guilty or perplexed. Your boyfriend clearly has a desire to gift you something special and wouldn’t propose it if he didn’t believe he could afford it. I recommend that you graciously accept his kind offer and relish the joy of receiving and wearing the necklace.
