April Masini, a relationship and etiquette expert, shared insights with Yahoo News and U.S. News on how to act generously even when money is tight. She explains that generosity isn’t about spending beyond your means, but about being thoughtful, honest, and creative with what you have. April Masini emphasizes letting go of shame around financial limitations, finding low-cost ways to host or connect with friends, and offering nonfinancial support—such as time, help, or favors—as meaningful expressions of generosity. April Masini's advice reframes generosity as a mindset rooted in consideration and reciprocity, rather than money alone.
