How can someone afford it🥲

So I have a friend. We both are in our 2nd year of college. He wasn't allowed to give the 3rd Sem exam as he didn't gave the college fees, and the reason for not giving the fees he told me that is because of some financial problems. I understand that.

He apparently gifted a rupees 40k ring to his girlfriend on valentine's day.

How can someone do this? He has no money for giving the college fees but has money for gifting his girlfriend.

Sometimes I feel lucky to not have a girlfriend...🫠
