Family Finances

For my recent birthday, I received a number of cards, with a number of checks in them. And thus far, I haven't cashed a single one. I feel funny cashing a check from my grandmother on her fixed income, or from my parents (who are in financial straits right now), when my business is doing super well and my husband is making a good salary.

I worry sometimes that I'm insulting them by not cashing the check. But we don't need or want for anything here, and $25 is going to help them out a lot more than it will me.
