Very Practical

She ought to be happy she's even getting a ring! I agree that $40K is not very much, and if it were me, I wouldn't give a kitty about how much the ring cost. It would be a different story if the guy was pulling in $100K, but come on. I'm not dating a millionaire and if he proposed to me, I would rather have a less expensive ring so that we wouldn't start out in debt! Even though I prefer sapphires, if I wanted a big diamond engagement ring to show off, I would just ask for a fake one. They make very nice "fakes" now that are the same as the real thing only they didn't come out of the ground, and who in the hell would know? Surely there will be time later on for him to give her a "better" ring once he's got more money.
