Again, I think it is great to motivate one another to do something nice to improve the world we live in but IMO:
"I bought myself X..." - Brag but at least I am transparent about it.
"I gave away X to help my fellow man..." - Humble Brag. I want to promote myself in the eyes of others. But, my opinion doesn't count. I just think that it speaks much more about a person when they don't announce their great deed.

Levels of charity:
1. A person gives but is not happy when s/he digs into the pocket in order to give.
2. A person gives pleasantly, but gives less than s/he should/could.
3. A person gives, but only when asked by a poor person.
4. A person gives without having to be asked, but gives directly to the poor. The poor person knows he gave the help, and the giver knows who was benefited
5. A person gives a donation in a certain place, but walks away so that the giver does not know who received the benefit. The poor person knows the giver however.
6. A person makes a donation to a poor person secretly. The giver knows who was benefited, but the poor person does not know who the giver was.
7. A person contributes anonymously to a fund which is then distributed to the poor.
8. The highest level of charity is to give money and help to prevent another person from becoming poor. For example, teaching a person a trade, finding them a job, etc.
