Word for someone good with money

When you receive a monetary gift, you can write a thank-you note to the person to show your gratitude and appreciation.

Money can be a great gift as you can choose how you spend it. A survey by Mint said that 61% of Americans want cash for Christmas.

Finding the right words to thank you for a cash gift can be challenging. The wording in your thank-you note will depend on why you received it, who gave it, and what you plan to do with it.

These thank you note for money templates, tips, and examples will help you craft a handwritten note or an email thank-you message.

For gift cards, please review the examples in the thank you for the gift card post.

Thank You for the Money Gift Templates

To help you determine what to say, let’s consider three scenarios for when money is received as a gift:

• You spend it
• You save it
• You don’t want to say what you did with it

How to Write a Thank You Note for Money Tips:

Here are my tips for saying thank you for the money in a thank you note card.

• Include at least two sentences. Only saying “Thanks for the money!” will leave the giver wondering what you did with the money. 
• Compliments are good. Use words like thoughtful, generous, and kind.
• Be honest. Don’t say, “I am saving the money for college,” if that isn’t true.
• Is it legible? When handwriting a note, be sure that it’s readable. Take your time and write slower, if needed.
• Add the occasion. If the money was for an event such as a birthday, anniversary, graduation, Christmas, or wedding, put the event before the word gift or money. For example, write birthday money instead of only money. And check out the wedding money gifts,  graduation money, and baby shower thank you guides for specific examples.
• Check your grammar. A tool like Grammarly can help you check your grammar for free.  
• Handwritten thank-you notes are a blessing to people that treasure handwritten cards. Boxed thank-you cards are usually the least expensive per card, or you could get a unique design on a site like Redbubble. For an example, look at one of my cat sunset cards.
• Don’t state the amount. The giver will know how much they gave to you.
• When don’t want to say money. Instead of saying “money,” it is okay to say “gift.”
• Include others in your sign-off. If the money was intended for you and your spouse (or partner), you can sign their name for them.

The appreciation messages below will help you to say thank you for the money gift. The gift of money can be a true blessing! Your note can be simple and written with just a few sentences.

How To Say Thank You For A Large Sum of Money

When someone gives you a large about of money, knowing what to say may feel like more of a challenge. However, the etiquette is the same. You can write a handwritten thank you to express your gratitude and share why you are thankful.

Expressing your gratitude may feel more challenging when you’ve received a large amount of money. What kind of thank you is enough for a big amount? Will your words ever be enough? I don’t recommend saying, “I can’t thank you enough!”

You may feel like you didn’t deserve the gift. You can read this post and this one to help you graciously accept the money.  Try to accept the gift without feeling guilty.

A large sum of money will mean different amounts to different people. For example, it could be $100 or $50,000 or more.  And remember that sometimes smaller amounts given to you regularly, such as for help paying bills, can add up to a significant total over time.

You could also pick out a card design that the giver will like. While a thank-you note should be enough to express gratitude, others may want to do more. Here is a list of thank-you gift ideas.

Tip 1: Explain why/how the money helped you. Be specific. Now is not the time to be generic!

Tip 2: Include as much in your note as in your heart. This could make for a longer letter than a typical three or four-word thank-you note.

Remember: This set of examples are for when the money was a gift and no repayment is expected.

Thank You for the Money for the Mortgage Down Payment Note Examples

#1 Thank you for the contribution to my mortgage down payment. Your generosity has changed my life. Because of your help, I was able to get a mortgage for 15 years instead of the typical 30. I appreciate your kindness. Thank you for sharing your money with me.

#2 We closed on the house last Friday! We thank you for your very generous gift to help with the down payment. We were able to become homeowners many years sooner than planned and are excited to start this new chapter of our lives. Thank you again for your benevolence. We would like to have you over for dinner as soon as we settle in.

#3 Thank you for giving us more money for the down payment on our house. We would not have been able to close without your extra amount. We appreciate how generous you have been in helping out our family.

Thank You for Large Gift of Money Message Examples

For large amounts of money, I encourage you to share how you benefited from the money.

#1 I am grateful for the large amount of money you gave me! As you know, it will be used for remodeling my bathroom. I will have you over for a visit once it’s complete. You are the best parents ever! Having an updated bathroom will help me feel more confident about having visitors. And since I use the bathroom every day, I will enjoy the improvements every day!

#2 I am very grateful for your help getting a used car. Since I don’t have a credit score, I wasn’t able to qualify for a loan. And much to my dismay, my old car gave out before I had enough saved for a replacement vehicle. Your altruism is beyond anything I have ever experienced. I can drive to work safely in the used [make or model of the car].

#3 Thank you for helping me with bills during the past year. I’ve struggled to get on top of things and seem to have a problem with self-sabotage. You’ll be happy to know that I have a new money accountability partner. I am making every effort to change my money habits. You’ve been very gracious to me and your resources. It’s time for me to learn to be independent. Thank you for all of your kindness and patience. I am grateful that, due to your help, I was able to stay in my apartment during my season of money troubles.

#4 I was surprised you decided to share your inheritance from Aunt Sue’s estate with me. I loved her as if she was my Aunt but did not expect anything when she passed. You are a very kind and charitable person. I don’t know what I will do with the money yet, but I am very grateful to have received it. My heart is full.

Thank You Messages For A Loan

Tip 1: I assume you needed the loan for a specific reason. You can mention the reason in your note. For example, thank you for loaning me money for [enter reason].

Tip 2: You can thank them when you get the loan and again when it is paid in full. One note is fine if the loan is short-term (less than two weeks).

I borrowed money from a coworker once and paid her back the next day with a thank you!

#1 Thank you for lending my cash yesterday for lunch. I was shocked when I got to work and realized I had left my wallet at home. I am grateful you helped me, so I didn’t have to skip lunch. Thanks Again!

#2 I am very grateful to you for helping me with a loan to cover the cost of my car repairs. As we discussed, I will give you [agreed upon amount] every two weeks until it’s paid off. And then, once it’s paid off, I will put the same amount in an envelope every two weeks to build up savings for the next time my car has an issue. Thank you for trusting me.

#3 Thank you for the loan to help me purchase a used car. Since I don’t have a credit score, I couldn’t qualify for a loan for even a tiny amount. I promise to stick to the payment plan that we came up with. And it’s very nice of you not to charge me interest!

#4 I appreciate your kindness and letting me borrow money during this difficult time. Not being able to pay my bills on time is very stressful. However, I am looking forward to my new job that starts next week, which will help me be in a better financial position.

#5 Thank you for letting me borrow money for rent last month! I had so many unexpected expenses happen at the same time. Your kindness helped me save face with the landlord. I sold some items on eBay for more than expected and will repay you the total amount soon.
