She returned the engagement ring

So my friend thinks I am wrong and I disagree with him. I wanted to open this up to the group since I am more interested in what is right over what I think is right.

Friend is going through rough financial times and his girlfriend knows it. She is pushing to get married and wants a ring and he loves her so much that he says okay, and spends $3000 on a ring.
I went with him when he got the ring and its obviously not crazy but I thought it was nice. He said it was what she asked for in terms of design etc. whatever. So he proposes to her and she says yes but then the issues is a few days later she starts saying how she wants him to take the ring back because she doesn't really feel it is her style.

Okay so at this point I could see both sides. He's probably pissed but then if it is a lifetime of wearing something I can see why someone would want it to be specific. I was about to side with his girlfriend until..... She goes ring shopping with him and the rings she wants start at about 11,000 up to 25,000. I was like woah!!!! Buddy is broke with all these bills, she's living in his home for free and he's broke. Like he's gone through some bad stuff and owes like $50k in debt.

I told him its a huge red flag and that her rejecting the ring is a huge kick in the balls. She apparently still wants to get married and all that but isn't it suppose to be about two people who want to be together? Maybe I'm naive but it seems like its all about money and face with Vancouver woman.

To make it worse, she is going on about how most woman/ girls would expect more and not be or would be as cool as she is about his financial situation. I told him to run. She's not the gold digger type but then after hearing this my friend is doubting who she really is. Anyway. Thoughts
