 Because that can't be it, right? Like, that's not altruism. That's self-hate. Listen, if you come from an immigrant family like Wendy, often part of the deal is sending money to family back home. If you've been able to climb into a higher tax bracket than the one you grew up in, you probably had some help along the way and might feel some responsibility to pay it back somehow. Wendy says you shouldn't exhaust your own funds to help everyone, though. I would encourage people to draw a circle.
