being wishy washy with a gift kindof defeats the purpose. though its also good to live a few months paychecks ahead, so you don't have to fall victim to lifes pitfalls. next month may be an unexpected car repair or a sickness. work hard live below your means and it will be alot less stress in the next year.
Truth, but if the kid is in highschool or college working (or fresh out of college, even) it takes time to build up a nest egg, even just a couple months worth. Definitely easier said than done but worth all the temporary troubles for sure.
