If you had no kids of your own. Would you put some money aside for your Niece and Nephews?

$10 a week might not seem like much But I have been putting it aside for each of my Brothers kids since they were born. Might be worth a down payment on their first car when they turn 18.

I don't have kids of my own, and I do have nieces and nephews. No, I don't put money aside for them, but I am very involved in their lives.

Yes I would. My husband and I are going to leave everything to my niece and nephew when we pass. We have no kids of our own.

Wow...that’s really nice of you to do that and will mean so much when you give it to them to help them.🤗

I wouldn't set money aside specifically for them, but I would let them know that I would help them financially from my savings if they were in need. It's a model that my unmarried aunt uses, and it works for all of us.
Definitely. But I don’t now because I have my own family and they are very well off. But if I was single with no kids, I’d definitely send them something anyway.

As long as you put it into an account in each of their names, I think it is very nice.

That's nice!
If I had money to spare and was close to them.

I have no kids, but my answer is no. That's what their parents are for.

I think it's great that you do that. Props to you. I'm sure the kids will be delighted about that. :)

I don't have that much leftover money once bills are paid and a minimum is set aside for emergency savings. I'm already postponing buying things I should have gotten a long time ago. It may be selfish of me, but the little I do have leftover I use to treat myself.

My sibling and the other parent of the one I'm uncle for are separated. As much as I love the kid, my sibling alone earns about double what I do so I honestly don't feel that bad about not setting aside money for the kid.
