At least for me, the expectations rose exponentially as I made more money. In the past two months, I've purchased/obtained for my GF:
- Prada Sunglasses - $220
- Gucci Wallet - $400
- Chanel Bag - $4500
- New X1 Lease - ongoing monthly payment of $478
- Engagement Ring - $30k for 2 ct vvs2, F color. Custom setting was $2k. But apparently, that's the norm. On FB I see 2+ ct engagement rings all the times in pics by my friends like it's nothing. I guess I still have a long way to go. Took me almost 2 years to save $40k in the bank.

I'm sorry but that seems insane to me. Does your girl work?
If your girl has "expectations" of gifts, you're not with the right girl. This might be your "courting" pahse but it's not sustainable. See above with the guy paying $130k/yr in alimony.
