Ang pows: how much have you collected/given so far?
-
elders 50 or 100 bucks each to them so if you have 4 who haven't die yet its maybe 300 or 400 down the drain.Originally posted by TehJarVu:wah gave out $800, $1K etc?
you all gave big denomination or to many kids in small denominations? how come ended up giving so much $$$?
then + kids say 10 bucks each. got say 6 families with avg of 3 children. which means that you have just incurred a 180 liability per year that will probably keep increasing
-
Not that there are many kids, but I gave more to parents, in the hundreds. Then some ang pow are in $50, some in $10...depends on the relationship.Originally posted by TehJarVu:wah gave out $800, $1K etc?

Parents and Brother got the most. In fact more than 50% of the total amount I gave out. Rest is to cousins and my nieces.Originally posted by TehJarVu:wah gave out $800, $1K etc?

yep, it is really to show the appreciation for the ang bows your relative packed for you during the wedding. And to give thanks to your parents for the many ang bows and blessings they gave you when you were young.Originally posted by elindra:All close relatives what
