Welcome to the Jill on Money Show. It's Thursday, August 15th, or in my world it is my last full day of work.

I can't even believe it. Because you know I had to go up to a

wedding in Maine tomorrow. So Mark it is my middle weekend wedding so one

wedding down this one comes it coming up in Maine and then I got one more after that and then I have two in October so I have a little breaky break.

Hey gang what is the what do you think is the wedding gift check amount when you are the

friend of the father and mother of the bride and groom.

What do you think, Mark?

You're the friend of the parents?

Yeah, I'm the friend of the parents

that kids are getting married.

I feel like, and it's a good friend.

Well, I mean, okay, it's a good friend. I I mean okay it's a good friend I don't know I wouldn't go crazy just you know a couple hundred. Oh stop it don't be ridiculous. I'm not even covering my the cost of my attendance forget it even more reason why you shouldn't

shell out too much you are so under the market on this one forget it I'm thinking about like 2,500 yeah I'm not kidding must be nice

to have that much money or to not care I don't want to make a mistake. Both. Well let me ask you you go into five

weddings. What are the odds that all five of these survived the test of time?

Oh, let me think about this. Well, I've already had one. So one down. I think I just had dinner with them I think they're

surviving whatever it's like early days but I think they seem really good focused okay I think my

niece and her husband definitely so I'm putting that as two you know I actually

think all of these are going to survive which is just my blind-eyed optimism.

Well, the odds of that happen in our, you know, the odds say no.

I know, but think about this.

What are the odds that I would get divorced twice?
