Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend - NOT!!!! Diamonds are no best friend to anyone except to De Beers. Here's a link to an article. My reason in posting is not really about what the article is saying but how it was written. Using a sprinkle of profanity here and there, they became an asset rather than a liability. It is akin to the sparkles of a piece of carbon. If you are unable to access the link below, just let me know. I shall then post the article as a correction. Enjoy! http://www.businessinsider.com/why-diamonds-are-a-sham-2013-3

@Dmitry: You can use the expression whenever you want something you can rely on in your old age. It doesn't mean to be money. "Children were thought to be a sure way to provide a nest egg when parents get old." "Quit idling your youth away, you need to learn a skill to provide a nest egg for the future."
