Newlyweds: Smart Ways to Invest Your Wedding Cash Gifts
- •Don't rush to spend wedding cash; treat it as "seed capital" for your shared financial future.
- •Park the entire amount safely in a savings account, liquid fund, or sweep FD for a "cooling-off phase" before making decisions, as advised by Abhishek Dev, Co-Founder & CEO of Epsilon Money.
- •Prioritize building an emergency fund covering at least six months of essential expenses, using stable, liquid options like ultra short-term or money market mutual funds.
- •Split remaining funds into goal-based buckets: short-term (within 3 years, low-risk hybrid funds) and medium/long-term (5+ years, diversified equity mutual funds).
- •Allocate a planned portion of the wedding money for enjoyment to integrate fun with financial planning and prevent impulsive overspending.
Why It Matters: Use wedding cash as a foundation for your shared financial life, not just for immediate splurges.
