How old should the money be sent? People of this age should know themselves, netizens complained: the face is too thick
One of the most common interactive states during the Spring Festival is the distribution of pressed old money and the collection of pressure money.
The distributor contains all the love and expectation for the younger generation.
The younger generations of the beneficiaries are elated by the increase in the amount of money they have pressed.
But in this state of interaction, there are also some families who are more worried.
When I meet some juniors who are no longer children, they are struggling with whether to continue to distribute the money.
Standing on the side of the slightly older juniors, many times, there is also a tangle between refusal and acceptance.
Accept it, always feel very embarrassed, do not accept it, but also let the other party very embarrassed.
01
How old is the money to not be issued? Different places have different customs
In response to this problem, this issue will discuss with everyone, give the younger generations money, when is it most appropriate to stop distributing?
In different places, there are different customs, some have age boundaries, and some have whether marriage is married or not.
The following summarizes the situation in three rough ways, and welcomes to add different statements:
First, when the child has reached adulthood, the elders can no longer distribute the money
There are some places where the custom is that children are if they are adults.
If you have reached the age of 18, you can no longer receive the money.
Many people think that they have reached the age of 18, are no longer children, and have begun to be independent as an adult.
Like a niece of the editor, this year is still sighing, and will no longer accept red envelopes from the elders from next year.
Because you have reached the age of 18 and then receive a red envelope, you will be considered by the elders to have grown up and still want to take the red envelope.
It will be considered that there will be a manifestation of wanting to nibble on the old, afraid of reaching out to the elders for money in the future.
It can also be seen from the side that this is also a form of encouraging children to become independent and no longer rely on anyone when they become adults.
Of course, as young people, many juniors are still very reluctant to press this old money.
Because no longer receiving the old money, it also means that you will no longer be a child in the future.
Especially some children who are accustomed to spending lavishly, they also need more pocket money to eat, drink and have fun every day.
Many children are looking forward to the New Year to get a large income and save a small treasury through this pressure money.
Second, the child has begun to graduate from work and has the ability to make money!
In some areas, there is no age limit, and there is no such thing as not distributing when you reach the age of 18.
It's about whether the junior is already out to work.
If the child already has a job and can already earn money to support the family, then there is no need to squeeze the old money.
But now in some areas, children are 23.4 years old before graduating from college.
This means that in some areas, the elders need to distribute red envelopes for longer.
Here to discuss a problem, some people have proposed that the child has turned 18 years old and has graduated from college.
But if you don't go out to work, at this time, do you still need to continue to give money to the old age.
Xiaobian suggests that you look at the individual's affection and love for this child.
If you have deep feelings and your family conditions are acceptable, then give this pressure money.
You can suggest that this is the last time to receive the old money, and wish the juniors to find a suitable job as soon as possible.
Wishing the younger generations to rise early and step by step, but also reminding the children that adults can no longer chew on the old.
Adults are in their twenties and need to be independent.
And some if the family is average, in the face of 20s who have not yet worked, they can also choose not to give the package.
Regarding the matter of pressing the old money, I care about the heart, and it is not important to have more money than less money.
Importantly, the pressure of old money represents the care and expectation of the elders for the younger generations.
Third, the child is married and can not be given!
In some areas, there is no such thing as work and age, depending on whether the child is married.
After all, some regions believe that only when you have a family can you really transform into an adult.
Only by having your own small family can you really not need the constant support and care of your elders.
But for more and more juniors who want to marry later.
Such a custom is also a kind of pressure invisibly.
Some elders, for their children, adults, can still receive red envelopes are ashamed.
Like a colleague who is very troubled every New Year's Day, because he has crossed the age threshold of thirty, but he is still unmarried.
Especially every year back to my hometown, in the face of the pressure of money given by seven aunts and eight mothers-in-law, grandparents, all kinds of invisible marriage.
It also makes many adult but unmarried young juniors feel stressed.

Why give your child money?
I learned about the distribution customs in different regions, but there are still many people who do not understand.
Why is it that the New Year is very distributed to the younger generations?
Is it okay not to distribute?
Regarding this custom, there are still many juniors who are not clear, let's take a look at this legend:
A long time ago, there was a kind of demon beast, which was called "Qi" and was not usually seen.
But it is specifically picked in the Chinese New Year's Eve this time period, out of the scourge of children.
All children who have been harmed by it always have nightmares when they sleep, and they always talk about dreams.
High fever does not go away, and serious mental damage will be suffered.
But someone inadvertently, because of the use of 8 copper coins, and then wrapped in red paper.
Put this red paper next to the child's pillow, did not expect such a practice.
Protect the child, so that the child will no longer be attacked by the "secret".
Therefore, in the past, children were generally distributed to 14 years old.
When the child becomes an adult, he is no longer afraid of "sneaking", and he no longer accepts "pressing money".
Knowing this, many people have different opinions about how old they are not to give pressure money.
Let's take a look at some of the parents' opinions:
Some parents believe that if the child has reached the age of 18, it is not needed.
There is no need for the help and help of the elders, in the past, because some families had a general economy.
Wealthier relatives want to help, but giving money directly hurts.
By receiving red envelopes from children, self-esteem can be effectively maintained.
But after the child is 18 years old, it means that he has grown up and can earn money to support his family.
Lighten the burden on your own family.
However, some juniors do not agree with it, come out to work, and no longer collect old money.
But it also means that you become the party who distributes, and you need to give money to the elders, grandparents, etc.
You need to give red envelopes to the children of relatives, you need to give red envelopes and gifts to your parents, etc.
This invisibly adds a lot of burden to yourself.
Some people also spend a month or two on their own salaries.

summary
In fact, about the size of the red packet, about how old it is not to give the money.
These can be carried out according to the local customs of their own place.
If the economic conditions are acceptable, they can be distributed according to their own ability.
If the economic conditions are average, they can be carried out according to local customs, and there will be no embarrassing behavior.
