No need to panic about Christmas gifts this year, most Americans want cold hard cash to pay bills or buy themselves gifts, a Lending Tree survey found.
Overall, 49% of people giving gifts this year want to receive cash in return. That number ticks up to 61% for kids under 18, 58% Gen Zers and 57% for millennials, and, if given the option, 39% of gift receivers said they would trade it in for its cash value, according to a survey by Lending Tree.
