<h1>The Most Unethical Money Decision: A Family Conversation</h1>
<p>Hey Dad, what’s the most unethical thing you’ve ever done with money?</p>
<p>I bought your mother a <strong>lab-created diamond</strong> as her engagement ring, and she has no idea.</p>
<p>But you’ve all been married for <strong>20 years</strong>.</p>
<p>Yep, and nobody's ever been able to tell the difference. Not even the professional jewelers who clean it once a year.</p>

<h2>How Do You Sleep at Night?</h2>
<p>I sleep knowing that I saved <strong>70%</strong> on that ring, and I didn’t contribute to the profit margins of the world’s most unethical monopolistic company.</p>

<h2>De Beers and the Diamond Monopoly</h2>
<p><strong>De Beers</strong>? They control over <strong>80%</strong> of the world’s diamond supply, and most of those luxury gemstones are just sitting in a box somewhere to keep supply artificially low. This, in turn, keeps demand and price artificially high.</p>

<h2>What If She Finds Out?</h2>
<p>Let the world believe in its gods and its myths, son. It’s all equally arbitrary.</p>
