My kids received angpows that come in many shape and sizes, some even have eyes and ears. Somehow this year, they are excited or motivated to collect angpows. They finally understood the money collected can be used for vacation. However, I don’t do that but keeps all their money in their own bank accounts. To date, all their angpows and birthday money gifts go to their bank account.

Emily was very keen on helping to take the money out and count how much she has collected. By the way, those that were given to my hubby and I by our parents will also go to their collection, divide equally within the 2 of them.

I also recycle the new notes so that I don’t have to go to the bank every year to change new notes. Yeap, I already packed for next year Chinese New Year. For both their shares, I transfer money from my account to theirs which is easier.
