Chartered Accountant Advises Caution on Lavish Wedding Expenses and Long-Term Finances
Bengaluru-based chartered accountant Meenal Goel advises couples against spending excessively on lavish weddings, highlighting that a typical Rs 20 lakh wedding budget can be quickly consumed by food, venue, decorations, photography, entertainment, and miscellaneous costs. She emphasizes that while the celebration lasts only a couple of days, the financial impact can persist for years. Goel suggests allocating a smaller portion of savings to the wedding and investing the rest in long-term financial security like a home or emergency fund.
