40th Birthday money

Surely it’s going to depend on what you can afford and want to give her?

£40 for 40 years?

Witzend, if only it were that simple. What I can afford and what is reasonable are 2 different things, I think. That's why I'm asking ...

£40 for 40 years?

Just what I was going to suggest.

What do you normally give her? If you normally spend say, £20, then my suggestion above seems reasonable for a milestone birthday.

Never mind what others give, it’s up to you. Are you implying your DD expects more than you can afford to give her?

No, only that I know what some of her friends have received and don't want to look stingy😅 I'm thinking £400 tbh.

£40 I would say but if your rich£400. We aren’t!

We're not rich but do give them £200 for birthdays. Although we are thinking of cutting down as we are both retired so the savings are depleting and pensions won't last forever

Gran32 £400 sounds about right, acknowledging her age in the number, I’m sure she’ll appreciate that.

I have just posted on a duplicate thread, before I saw this.

But we don't know your circumstances.
