Many people know the term "present pix" which has already become fashionable among some "tribes". But for those who don’t know, I’ll try to explain:
When a person has a birthday, a friend offers to organize a list to give that person’s birthday the money collected by the participants. This list varies and may also include companies, except that there is no specific value. "The sky is the limit"but nothing less than R$50.
On the one hand, it’s a great idea as the birthday person gets a reasonable amount and uses it, whether it’s to buy things, travel or even save it in a savings account.
But it cannot be said that it is not a pyramid scheme as one day the person is at the bottom and the next day at the top as everyone agrees and does it among themselves.
Fat and fun, yes, but when you expose the amount sent by each person, it can come across as snobbish and arrogant. Isn’t it important to participate? But this problem exists, and it’s already giving people something to talk about.
Those who can help with less feel embarrassed in front of someone else who can help with more and then the game is not as fun.
The right, in my opinion, was that only the administrator of the list knew the amount sent by each person, whether in pix (the most common and used) or electronic transfer. This organizer person is responsible and of course trusted by the birthday person, so what’s the problem?
I say this because they have already made me such a list, on my birthday, and, with the display of the deposit receipts, someone has come to do the calculations of how much I will receive. And, in my opinion, neither the birthday boy or girl should know how much each has deposited, as this would avoid embarrassment, as: "Wow, I helped this person so much" or even "She could have given me more since she is so rich" or even "wow this powerless man helped me". There will always be judgments…
If you belong to one "The tribe"know that you are not immune to this game, which I think is super efficient and also gives the happy recipient the freedom to decide and not be disappointed with an unwanted or even inappropriate gift.
Comment here what you think! Have you ever received such a gift? It’s trendy, huh!
