Alternate explanation - 17% of 18-24 year old are still substantially, if not fully, subsidized by the bank of Mom and Dad. When I was 18-24, I was broke :)

Otherwise, you get in the habit of spending ALL of it, or increasing the debt on your credit card by a large amount; neither one is good. My general rule is $20 for REALLY close friends and $30-100 for immediate family. As a guy, I want to show appreciation to friends and family, but I really don't like giving out gift cards or unneeded gifts - it leads to more spending and/or waste.
