[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Four adult kids (39, 37, 32, 29) - all get the same gift, which is anything(s) worth $250. They can send me a list or receive a check. DD 37 is married, and her husband also gets a gift(s) worth $250. Somehow spending $1,000 for Christmas feels right. I do think it's sort of funny that, with inflation, I've ended up decreasing what we provide for them...which make sense since they're all grown.[/quote] Every year my parents give us a check for $200 because that's what their parents gave them when they were alive. It has never occurred to them that $200 in 1977 (when this tradition started) had a bit more purchasing power than today. They always excitedly ask what we will be spending the check on... I put it in the kids 529s and tell them that and the response is always "you don't need to worry about that. You'll be getting a lot of money when we go." Lol[/quote]
