It does happen every once in awhile, but a girl found out that the ring she got from her boyfriend was not worth as much as she thought. Now, was she disappointed? It all came up this morning in a segment we know as “Group Therapy” on The Mike & Carla Morning Show!

It was very clear that the young lady was stoked that she got a ring from her boyfriend. He doesn’t make a lot of money and he never told her it was something it wasn’t. All he did was say that “…this ring is for you!”

Upon showing it to her Dad, he’s first piece of advice was get it appraised and then insured. So, she did just that. When the appraisal came back, needless to say, the ring was not that expensive, but she was completely fine with that.

Would It Really Matter How Much The Ring Was Worth?

The fact of the matter is that the woman makes three times as much as her boyfriend. On the other hand, that’s not, nor has it ever been an issue with them. The appraisal of the ring was wasn’t an issue either, until she did told someone else the cost.

She told a friend and that’s when it got a little catty with her friends. Telling her that if he’s only going to spend that much on a ring you should dump the guy! Oh yes! Women can be like that and other women will tell you the same thing!

When The M&C Morning Show open the talk and text lines, it was surprising to find out how many other women were stepping up to support our girl! Surprisingly, one woman told us that her big mistake was telling her girlfriend! That’s when the flood gates opened up!

Just take a couple of minutes and listen to the segment yourself and see what you think…and enjoy!

How Happy Are Married Couples In Nevada

Everyone knows that Las Vegas can be a fun place to live, but what if you’re married. It might be hard to stay married in Las Vegas, but how happy are married couples in the state of Nevada? According to one article put out by Zippia, we’re not very happy!

Exactly how happy are married couples in the State of Nevada?

To determined “happiness” the survey considered the following factors:

Depression Rate
Household Income
Unemployment
Commute To & From Work
Hours Worked
Marriage Rate

You factor in all these things to find which state has the happiest people. Now consider the fact that married people tend to be happier to start with. With all that said, it’s sad to say that, despite all the fun we might have to offer in the state of Nevada, we are ranked #34! Even though our “Depression Rate” is a 3, we fall low on scores in the other categories.

You would think that with everything our state offers, we can’t be happier? The great outdoors, hiking trails, enjoying the lakes in both Southern and Northern Nevada? Think of all the shows, concerts. It seems like there is always something to do here. On the flipside, that might be the problem as well.

With gambling, being a 24 hour town, it sometimes is difficult to curb the urges with all that Las Vegas has to offer. As we all know, there’s no “last call” here in our great state. Sometimes that can be an issue. That alone can be one huge reason as to why being married in this state is tough.

You can be take some solace that we are “happier” than those in the state of Texas, Florida and even in the tiny state of Rhode Island! By the way, the least happiest state…Louisiana! But what states tend to be the happiest when you’re married, you might be surprised. Do yourself a favor, scroll down and see what they are for yourself!
