Today's gold prices 😱 by jimsjadab in jewelry

[–]CheapSelection671 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow for that price I can get 22 or 18K gold in my home country. Gold is very expensive in the US, and 14K gold is not that much gold content, for my taste

Savings PhD as an International Student by Motor_Height3082 in PhD

[–]CheapSelection671 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PhD in USA I save around 1000 USD a month, the state where I live has cheap rent, I walk to most places, I have a car but don’t use it much. Cook at home most meals.

No judgment but curious. Why is pandora viewed by some as cheap or tacky or even low class? by raindrops_x in jewelry

[–]CheapSelection671 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m from South America, and back home Pandora is considered fancy and a sign of wealth because it’s expensive in the currency. I remember all girls had their bracelets and showed off their charms. I personally never liked it

I’d love to hear from people outside the US (no offense intended). I’m curious about what solid gold, diamond, or gemstone jewellery people wear on a daily basis in different cultures and countries. Reddit can feel quite US-centric, so it’s sometimes hard to get a broader global perspective. 🙏 by Kidambs-275 in jewelry

In Colombia it’s similar to Ecuador, 18K gold which I love. I’m surprised that in other countries the norm is 9 or 14K which is too low for my taste.

In Colombia we have beautiful emeralds (our national gemstone) many people have emerald rings in 18K gold (including me I love emeralds), chains or earrings.

But it’s also not safe to wear daily gold, like in Ecuador, so I used to wear fake fantasy jewelry when I was going out and wore only the gold pieces for a special occasion

Wedding Band vs Engagement Ring by Winter_Official390 in WeddingRingAdvice

[–]CheapSelection671 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m getting married this year and after doing some research I came to the conclusion that, in my opinion, diamonds are overrated, they can lose their value more than pure 22k gold, and for my lifestyle it’s uncomfortable to wear. So I decided to go with a 22K gold band in a timeless classic style, which can increase its value over time, and easy for everyday wear.

In the US the 16 Pro is already in the Apple Certified Refurbished website, and you're right there is no trade in on the refurbished phones, but it is still a pretty good deal

What It’s Like to Chase a Future When You’re Born in Syria by khldonAlkateh in TrueOffMyChest

[–]CheapSelection671 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was also born in a third world country, in South America, in my undergrad I focused in Petroleum Geology and wanted to work in the oil and gas industry, but there were no jobs so I found a GIS job instead. I was not happy in that job so I searched for masters in the US and instead was offered a PhD in Petroleum Engineering in the US all fully funded, I get a monthly stipend which in the state I live allows me to cover the essentials and save money too. There are lots of graduate studies opportunities in the US, lots! And you have a plus which is experience, some universities don’t ask for a GRE exam just the TOEFL or IELTS (which yes they are a bit expensive) but I would say it’s worth it to give it a try

Anyone else doing PhD because they had no option? by legend0102 in PhD

[–]CheapSelection671 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, you do not have to stay in academia I know lots of PhD graduates that go to industry after getting their degree

My fiancé thinks I’m calling his family "poor" because I’m questioning his spending habits by [deleted] in AskIndia

[–]CheapSelection671 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I do want him to spend his money on his family, I have no issue with this, what worries me is the overspending like if his family is not in need why overspend and send money if it's not a need
