atheists assemble!

So I need help, I'm in a rather difficult financial situation, i'll bullet point to show how urgent it is.

-I need to save up money to buy a relatively cheap ring, nothing too poor mind you, it's a preliminary.
-I'm in full time education & can't get a job due to lack if experience (so no summer job unfortunately)
-I have very little regular income, this basically means I have a monthly 'allowance' (I hate that word -.-) of 20-25GBP
-In this past month, the first of my saving, I've gathered 50GBP as a starting point.
-I have until april to acquire the currency.

my question to you, dear co-non-believers/skeptics/generally pretty cool people, is this; how would i best go about saving money?

any help would be much appreciated!

Wait until you have a job to get the ring.

Therein lies the problem, I'm in education for another three years and that seems too long to wait really, considering that I would be best possessing it by april :S

i dont get why you need to buy a ring? An engagement?

[liam]

indeed, should probably have made that clear in the first place...my apologies then

Atheists assemble? Is this like a thing I don't know about? Do we have to do like a power rangers transformation video when someone shouts that? Someone really should of told me, this has caught me completely unprepared. I haven't got a costume or anything. Where the fuck am I going to get spandex this time of day?

Anyway... allowance? If this is an engagement thing you should wait for an income but if you feel you *have* to then theres no shame in keeping it within your means. She knows your situation, she isn't expecting diamonds. As long as it looks nice with a semi-precious stone or better on then she should be thrilled. You can always replace it later when you've got more income but its doubtful you'll need to, it'll have sentimental value at that point.

Fuck saving. Find a meteorite ring for cheap. The novelty of it will be enough to make her happy if she is worth marrying. (Also, don't be in a hurry to get married. If she isn't willing to wait, she probably is not worth it. Sorry, but it's true.)

We're in the month of May, going on June.

During coitus, get her to insert her wedding finger in your anus, then ask her to marry you. What a proposal that'd be.

Cheap ring too. Give it a wash first.

It's a less dramatic version of a conch-call, somewhere between shouting 'heathen' and the anchorman call is where I see it lying.

Indeed, the problem is that of the two of us she has the income and, central to my struggle, I am unable to get a real income for a little while :/ That was my general intention, I'd only need to raise a few hundred pounds and with 11 months that doesnt seem insurmountable, however, the issue is income because i have minimised my expenditure as much as possible, losing only ~£5 a month, so I can save but extra income is top priority the replacement is a concern for the future but not a massive issue.

and it is for the april coming in 11 months
