Money Etiquette Tips Everyone Needs to Read

8. Consider each person’s budget if you want to chip in.

If you collect money for a friend’s or a colleague’s present, don’t think that one and the same sum would be OK for everyone. Just imagine: one person can only give $30 but they’re supposed to give $60. For some people, it may come as a surprise, and definitely not a pleasant one. So you’d better ask everyone to either contribute however much they feel comfortable or figure out which sum would be good for everyone.
