If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead
That's like the ultimate First World Problem ever. :lol2:

Honestly, it sounds to me like Drew did not do his homework before dropping serious cash. Caveat emptor.

I can understand doing what he did, but I would have had everything appraised by another party, before plunking down the cash.

True story... I knew a gal who had been through a bad divorce, but had since remarried. She had a good bit of money invested in high quality diamonds. She would take these investment grade diamonds to a custom jeweler and have them made into rings. The rings stayed inside of her safe deposit box.

Her reasoning? 1) Her new husband did not know how many rings she had or exactly where they were stored. 2) She never wore more than one at a time. Rarely wore them at all. 3) In case of another marital problem, she would not list those rings in a property settlement unless she had to. 4) If she did have to bring them to the Court's attention, what judge would know the value of a piece of jewelry and what judge would take a woman's jewelry away from her?

I told her she was full of it. She told me she'd bring them to work one day, since she needed to clean them, anyway. I got a call from her one morning, inviting me to her office for coffee. When I got there, she reached in her desk drawer and put on five diamond rings.

Now, were they investment grade? Knowing her and her family, I didn't doubt it one minute...

Investing in diamonds? I thought it was common knowledge not to do that.

I hate typing on my phone.

I also hate when autocorrect remembers your posts on GoT's Facebook page.
