Take into account the guy could be in hella debt and 40k a year isn't really all that much if you think about it all. He may live by himself in a pricey apartment? There are a million things that could factor into it all.
$6500+ on a 40k a year salary? After you factor in what the government takes from you, that could come out to almost 1/4 of his take hom pay. Is that the price range he feels he should spend on you or is that the price range of a ring you would like? I think I recall you describing a Tiffany's engagement ring, I could be mistaken.
Maybe he's just plain broke but still loves her and wants to marry her? He could buy another ring in the future, when he can afford it.
I hate to say it but some women should feel happy/lucky by simply getting a ring.
My rant of the day...
