5 good ways to invest $50,000 instead of on a wedding

  1. Live abroad for a couple years

This option may not be for everyone, but it should not go without mention. $50,000 can get the two of you by in so many cool places that your only trouble will be deciding where. Beaches are not off limits—or maybe your “flavor” is climbing the world’s tallest peaks. Whatever it is, taking a sabbatical can mean learning a language together, studying abroad, doing volunteer work or just going on an adventure together that will absolutely affect your relationship forever. You’d be surprised how far that type of money can take you in so many places.
