I wonder, did you come up from a poor family?

I did, and my outlook now (from a secure financial position) is very similar to yours. Although I view my generosity as a kind of twisted love language haha

Yes, I was raised food and home insecure in my childhood and was pretty poor in my twenties.

It's funny because I'm very generous with my friends, but won't give my family a dime because they usually just want my money and don't have time for me.
