Last night as I was relaxing, I went on the Tiffany & Co. website to ogle over engagement rings. A two karat diamond in the setting that I chose has a staring price of $38,000. Since I am not currently in a relationship, I decided to stop drooling over diamond rings and move on to other jewelry.
I found myself on the Mikimoto website. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Mikimoto, you should know that they are very expensive pearls. So expensive in fact that the least expensive thing on the site was a set of stud earrings for $350. The necklaces I was looking at ranged from a $30,000 to a mere $250,000.
My question: How can anyone afford that?!?! Apparently people do buy them or else economics tells us that Mikimoto would be out of business. I lamented over the price for a while, thinking of ways to amass some fortune to purchase such treasures. Other than winning the lottery or making it big in Las Vegas, I concluded that I'd have to find a job that paid well----correction, paid extremely, outrageously, disgustingly well! That might take some time, but it does provide me with inspiration to survive the upcoming finals week. If I get A's, I have a higher chance of getting a nice internship which will hopefully lead to a job that will supply me with the funds I need.
I suggest we go to Vegas!
