Re: Christmas gift question
[quote=zff;216952]Ok, so let's say you bought your close friend a $20 gift, but you haven't given it to him/her yet. You and your friend both make about the same amount of money and have about the same expenses. Later, you find out this friend bought you a $250 gift. Would you still give your friend the $20 gift, or would you try to find him/her something more expensive? (Assume your friend would enjoy either gift equally.)quote]
I haven't been lucky enough to have such a friend, but I think it's a rather "cuckoo" situation to be in. Perhaps you can make it up by taking that person out to an expensive dinner, or something, afterward. Then, make some sort of comment later on during the year prior to the following christmas not to go nutz on your xmas gift. Also, not buying them another, more expensive gift, in place of your original one will help deliver the message that you're saving for retirement.
