    paying dividends

    The endless time and effort we spend to educate our children is now paying dividends.

    Is there anything analogous in Russian?
    Чем больше слов, тем меньше они стоят.

    Я думаю, что буквальный смысл: "выплачивает дивиденды" тоже годится с некоторой натяжкой. В данном контексте, я бы сказал: "даёт свои плоды".

    Словом можно обидеть. Словарём - убить.

    Существует клише "приносит дивиденды".

    - окупается
    - мы пожинаем плоды (of something)

    Another month ends. All targets met. All systems working. All customers satisfied. All staff eagerly enthusiastic. All pigs fed and ready to fly.

    In this case I would say "начинает окупаться".
