You go and ask around lah. Nowadays same generation dun give to same generation. 

Of cos $6 is ok. I dun belittle $6. But pls lah, they brought one bunch of children to the house and year after year give that amount even though I give them a lot more. Mine is a single income family but they have couple working leh. Definitely earn more than me. Isn't it right to reciprocate?

Market rate is min $20 for relatives. More for own children.

$10-12 for cleaners, maids, bangla, pump assistants, etc.

$4 is way below market rate. Now inflationary pressure leh. Everything must go up.

Close relative give more, not so close give less.
My daughter told me his classmate received $1k red angbow from his grandparent.  
Is it too much?

Precisely...rules are all men made .
Singles  doing well are also sharing generously. 

Be magnanimous, not calculative.

IF I DAM RICH , I also can give , each red packet put 5k

Recently that what influencer Naomi showing off her red packets got stalks of 5o bucks inside. Quite thick

Obviously some of her relative is rich , beside herself.

I still remembered when I was a little boy, one of my uncles gave me $20 red packet.
That was so long ago.
I was so happy

my mother side , the uncles and aunties not much , biggest received is 20 bucks , if my mother sister give will be slightly a bit more sometimes but always also the same roughy 20 bucks or so , less than 30 bucks.
