I agree...I would not really worry about that right now, especially since you do not even have the girl yet. I mean, it is always good to have a nest egg, so if you can be disciplined and save, you will thank yourself down the road, no matter what you spend it on. But until you are sure to be tied down, I would do what makes you happy with the money, even if that means spending it on your car. I am engaged, and have been for a while as we decided to wait until I finish with college, hopefully this December, and I did not spend a fortune on the ring. I spent what I could, but it also helped that my fiance had already looked at/shown me the ring so I knew what to get anyway. So I would not worry so much about that. If the love it truly there, the girl will love you for you, not the ring you get her (obviously a plastic quarter machine ring will not work, but you get the idea). As for the wedding/honeymoon, what I said above about the nest egg. Always a good idea, but I would say that you could splurge for yourself a little with part of the 15-20k.
