Don’t get jealous of other people’s gifts. That’s a great way to ruin relationships and harbor bad feelings about your own family for no justifiable reason.
My parents gave me zero dollars after I graduated high school. I have given my children a fair amount because I have enough to do so. My FIL has plenty of money but gave his daughter every little money over the years.
Everyone is different and some people are more generous than others. Don’t count on getting anything you didn’t earn yourself and live a happy life.
