Cannot compare. Only when CNY comes around will those families with lotsa children 'reap' a bountiful harvest.
The other 363 days of the year the families have the hell lot of an expense.

If you worry of that, during CNY, run to overseas lor...
Some people does that.

-
first of all, what's wrong with giving money as per tradition? If your family felt it couldn't afford it, your parents would have scaled down the money in the red packets. It's just a token sum you know.
If I'm guessing correctly, you're the only one who feels slighted in the new year. Which says alot, considering 4 dollars a day isn't exactly below par.

So ? Your parents money not = your money ok ?
Your money is what you earn with your own efforts.
U think your parents money must all go to you ah ?
Please lor, even if your parent will all their assets to charity when they die, you also lan lan suck thumb ok ?

later you get married, your money is your wife's money and her money is her money....
-
yep meh
ahahhahahha

U do know that it is an honor to give ang bao? It just goes to show that someone have lead a long and fulfilling life.
-
If I go by your logic, wouldn't my parents incur more loss than yours? My parents give ang pows in Singapore dollars and most of the ang pows we received is in Malaysian ringgit.
Anyway, 4 dollars pocket money is still ok what, at least your parents give you the money. I only got $3 for recess and lunch during sec sch and the pocket money I got in poly all comes from my pay. School fees I also pay myself in poly.
-
your ang bao should be mostly big one...my family will pao $30 in one ang bao if we know you are giving us 3 $10 ang bao each.
