But some money in an envelope, address is and send it!

I love Pinterest!

Yes, the United States Postal Service does not recommend this.

However, giving or receiving money can be super awkward! How do you give money without insulting the person or without all that ooey over gratitude they lavish on you.  How does someone receive money without feeling shame or guilt? Or like they don’t deserve it?

You send cash in the mail (and put the same address in the from: space as the to: space.)

The person you care about can refuse the money if you try to hand it to them. However, if they get it in the mail, with no return address, they will have to either give it away or spend it.  Hopefully they do that latter!

If this had been a check, I would never have used it.  But it’s cash and if I don’t use it, then I have to give it away and frankly, I need it!  I am grateful to my anonymous friend who knew exactly what I needed and made it easy for me to accept it!
