Our family thinks of gifting totally differently than some here. Money ( when you are fortunate enough to have plenty) is in my family’s eyes “ family money”. Large gifts are given to preserve wealth. No one expects not to also work and make enough to support themselves, even if they technically don’t need to. When my daughter who is a nurse was gifted with money from her hospital to pay for Ubers at the beginning of the pandemic ( a donor had set up a special fund for nurses) she ended up gifting back that and more from our family charitable trust. She made us do it in our names though as she didn’t want anyone to know.
