Coming up with the right words to say when you receive money can feel a little awkward. Then, trying to figure it out can become overwhelming and many of us begin to procrastinate writing out thank you cards and notes, eventually forgetting to send them out completely. But it’s important to remember that when someone gives a monetary gift, they likely find it off-putting if a simple show of appreciation is not returned, like in the form of a thank you card. And although it might seem like a daunting task, we’re turning it into an easy and quick, really no-big-deal-at-all task—just for you! Here are 57 ways to say “thank you” to someone that gives you money. And we even broke it down by occasion. Let’s share that gratitude!
