Few things about giving from my experience:

1)First of all I must say anything I ever gave was returned to me by a ten fold.
Meaning I always get back 10000% of what I give. Time, money anything....
Thank goodness I gave a lot

2)Nowadays I have a rule if I dont give full heartedly, unconditionally, I dont give. In other words give as much as I can before I feel like that I will expect something in return, or any resentment.
How much am I willing to give totally unconditionally with joy?
I wouldnt want a person to feel like they owe me anything if I chose to give. If I give too much I may start feeling that. SO its important to find the right amount

3)Be grateful you have so much to give!! Thats an amazing blessing!

4)Whatever I wanna give, I give a little bit more. I try to push myself a little out of your comfort zone
2 days ago I decided that whoever asks me for money gets a 20 dollar bill because I noticed all I had in my wallet was 20$ bills.
It was fun seeing such grateful homeless people on the subway.
It took me outa my comfort zone but still I felt joyful about it.
5) However much you give or dont give DO NOT feel guilty that you should give more.
There will always be more opportunities to give
