re: Saving for Future Weddings?

If we are being honest and consider this a true financial board then there needs to be some considerations of best use for any monies- probabilities should also come into his decision of what to do with the “extra” money.


Those probabilities are that statistics show that at least 50% of all marriages end in divorce.

With 4 girls that would mean at least 1/2 will get divorced.


Thus, a more prudent thing to do with this money would be split the money and future savings for weddings and going toward down payments of houses for the 4 of them.


Smaller scale weddings plus money for down payments. That’s what I would do.

Otherwise you have possibly pissed away money on weddings that 1/2 of which will end in divorce.

I would also gift this money strictly to my daughters and not make it a joint gift prior to the nuptials.

If possible, I would also try to get them into a house before they marry. That way that particular house is always in their name. They can always marry and keep their original house as a rental in their name.
