Should I explain why I’m no longer sending money to adult relatives?
A reader who has long mailed birthday cards with money to extended family is considering limiting cash gifts to relatives 19 and under while still sending cards to adults.
Dear Annie: For years, I’ve made it a point to remember every birthday in my extended family — my nieces, nephews and now their children — by sending cards with a little money tucked inside. It’s been my way of staying connected since I don’t see them often.
