<prompt> Human: My sister got married this past weekend and after speaking to my parents, I am realizing how expensive wedding can potentially be. My wife and I paid for ours ourselves and we are very frugal. I have two daughters age 6 and 3. What would be the best way to saveinvest into the cost of two weddings in the next 14-20 years give or take a few years? I know that they could also be frugal like we are, but just in case, I would like to have at least 5k-10k saved for each of them.Thank you in advance for any serious advice given.  <response>: I dont know anything else about your financial situation, so Im going to assume that you have your emergency fund, retirement savings, college funds, etc. all set already. If your goal is to save 10,000 over the next 20 years, you dont have to stretch too far. Put 40 20 for each of them a month into an investment account in a general stock-based index tracker. If you average about 7 return over the next 20 years you have 20,000. If you can put in 50 per month then you would have 25,000 at the end, which would cover your 15 capital gains taxes assuming they stay the same -- not a sure thing.
