<prompt> Human: First, taxes, how much is going to be eaten up in taxes? How can I get the most out of the money and not spend a huge amount in taxes.

We will probably even have about 1,000 left over not including this new 3K. My grandmother said its to help with the wedding if we wanted to but its our money, we can do what we want with it. Any idea on ways we can invest or put some away to slowly start earning money.
