Does buying expensive gifts for friends who are not well off come off as generous or like bragging about their financial standing to you? (Page 2)

Question

So from time to time I have been known to drop a few hundred dollars on friends just because I see them want something I know they can't afford even though they never asked me to do it. I have bought different friends a bed frame and mattress, a Nintendo Switch, sent them money just so they could order out, and even just dropped a few hundred so one friend could start a secured credit card and build credit for a house she wants one day. I have been there myself and know what it is like to struggle. I remember a time when $25 was our monthly grocery budget. I never asked for money, but it would have probably been nice to get it. I feel like I have been blessed financially now with our jobs, my kids are well taken care of and we have everything we could possibly want. My spouse is perfectly fine with it, but I worry about the perception of it.  Would you be grateful if it were you receiving the gift or would you feel like that person is flaunting their money over you?
