As WCI-reading docs and financially savvy individuals, how much do you gift at weddings? I'm at that stage of my life when everyone is getting married or having kids, and this year I will be attending multiple weddings not as a student/resident, but as a doctor a few years into practice. A couple years ago, I would give $100 flat, $200 if I brought a date, maybe more for closer friends, but as people get older and more established, they seem to be spending more and more on their weddings... is more expected of me now since I'm a doctor? Is that fair? I still have loans and want to live "like a resident," but in the long run it is probably better to give, and a few extra thousand bucks won't make a difference, right? Where do you draw the line? Of course, this is a highly individual choice, and depends on how close you are to the person, whether or not you are traveling for the wedding, your geographic area, etc. Just curious how you all approach this. Thanks in advance!
