[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was just thinking about this today. We spend about $200-$250 a kid. The oldest will graduate college this year. She still provides me with a list and I’m happy to shop from it. But at what point do you stop buying expensive gifts for Christmas? Is it college graduation, 25 or 30? Where does it end? [/quote]

I would love somebody to help with this question...I have a 23 and 25 year old and I think its time to dial back the presents but not sure what is "normal" for this age group....[/quote]

My oldest is 20, so not there yet...but why don't you just decide what works for your family. There's not a universal wrong or right. If you think it's time to dial back, then dial back. [/quote]

My parents started dialing back once we graduated college and started working. That happened to coincide with SOs entering the picture so the total money was 'split.' Once grandkids came they got the bulk, which I think is appropriate. My mom has passed now and I really appreciate her gifts that I have. Some were misses, but it was always evident she tried.

My expectation is that my parents dialed back while I dialed up - as my resources increased, their gifts got better.[/quote]
