Graduate Gifts: What is the right amount of money?

Graduation weekend It is just behind the door and many typically give their gifts to young money. But what is the right amount?

“The most important thing is to think about your own economic situation and how close the party is,” says the financial expertise adviser Anu Raijas The Bank of Finland’s Money Museum.

Typically, the graduate is 50-100 euros from the purse, but these are arbitrarily invented figures. Is not too cheap or expensive for a gift.

Present The year has been challenging for many households and inflation has been high in recent years. Still, this EUR 50-100 accordion has been for years to remain a suitable amount in people’s minds.

So people can’t think about what the amount of money gets, but what feels right, Raijas ponders.

« It is interesting that gifts are often such flats. Not given 75 euros, but just 50 or 100. »

Raijas hopes that no one would drive themselves because of the gifts given to financial problems. There can be many celebrations in the summer, so the gifts suddenly accumulate a big pot.

In the Money Museum While working, Raijas encounters a lot of young people and has also discussed with them about gifts. Money is a very common wish and in cash.

« The gift has to be something seeming like this. This is also related to how money and payment is perceived in our brain. Virtual money doesn’t really feel like anything. The note in the envelope comes to mind. »

Riih dry is an easy choice as a gift, but not the only option. It can also be something intangible. Promise for a joint nature trip or a gift card for some experience, Raijas lists.

« The idea of ​​the gift should be such that it would have something to do. That there would be a positive memory of the event and the giver. »

Even traditional items are good gifts. As long as you find out in advance that the recipient of the gift really needs one.

« You don’t just decide that now that young person definitely wants it to mariskol. »
