American IRA, a Self-Directed IRA Firm Explains the Long-Term Costs of a Wedding

According to a recent post at American IRA, a Self-Directed IRA administration firm based in Asheville, North Carolina, the average cost of a wedding in the United States is only going up. In 2017, as the post cites from statistics at CostOfWedding.com, the average cost was about $25,765, with a median cost of about $15,000.

But might it be a better idea to spend less lavishly on the wedding and put money into a Roth IRA? The post notes a thought experiment by Paul Merriman for CBS MarketWatch. By running the numbers of a 25-year-old bride who retires at age 65, and assuming a 10% return, investing $39,000 into a Roth IRA at a pace of $5,500 every year, the long-term opportunity cost of a $40,000 wedding is not the flat $40,000, but ultimately, a cool $1.77 million—more than enough to retire on.

This thought experiment assumes some hefty returns—and requires the short-term sacrifice of the wedding itself. But it does demonstrate the power of investing early. Putting aside wedding-type money that early in the life of a young couple could potentially create some astounding returns for minimal upfront cost relative to the ultimate results.

According to American IRA, this is a good example of why a Self-Directed IRA might be just as important for young couples to consider as the type of wedding cake they want to serve…in fact, it's far more important. Although the wedding cake is a single memory, a Self-Directed IRA, properly invested, could yield results that change the lifetime trajectories of both spouses. That could mean more money set aside for vacations and other perks of retirement—or even perks as they plan for retirement.

"This thought experiment demonstrates the potential power of a Self-Directed IRA," said Jim Hitt of American IRA. "It's not just about what you are willing to forgo in the present. It's about calculating what you might be forgoing in the future if you decide to put aside all of your money now and spend it on a wedding. At the very least, it should give those currently planning a wedding some pause."
