What Did You Do With The Money From Your Wedding Reception?

Mey here blogging about the interesting question What Did You Do With The Money From Your Wedding Reception?

…on your wedding day how much money did you get from gifts from your guests?

…what did you do with that money?

…did you buy dishes and appliances?

…did you put it in a joint savings account?

…what if you I told you that we invested that money and now we get paid monthly from that initial investment and I’m going to tell you how to do it too?

How We Made Our Wedding Money Make Us More Money

…Jomel and I got married on August 12, 2012 and we had our big wedding party at the end of October of that year…

…so we gathered up some cash from the party, and it was about $5,000 total…

…I discussed with Jomel and we decided to take that money and invest it for dividend income…

…so we opened a joint brokerage account and then started investing in ARR (click here for more about ARR)

…so right now, our original $5,000 investment is valued at about $2,500, meaning that if we sold all of our stock today we would get that much money (so ARR depreciated in value about 50% in the last 2 years)…

…and our dividends that we’ve earned in a little over 2 years until now have been about $1,000.00…

…currently we are making roughly $30.00/mo from this investment…

…now, we don’t know if the dividends will go up or down…

…however, we are happy that our investment is still making us money and will continue making us money until we are old and gray and pass it on to our estate…

What Would Have Happened If We Had Spent Our Wedding Money Instead?

…let’s say we had spent the money instead?

…over 2 years we could have spent about $200/mo…

…that would have helped pay some bills, just our utilities really =)

…and then what?

…we would have nothing left…

…we wouldn’t have monthly dividends to put in our joint account which have ranged from $30/mo – $60/mo…

…maybe we would have some furniture or stuff if we used it to get something…

…however, I don’t know about you, I would rather have the monthly dividends!
