As an immigrant who grew up with nothing and have no family support network, now that I make ridiculous money working at FAANG, I spend it all because I know I’ll be fine if I go back to nothing.

That seems irresponsible to me. Shouldn't you be at least saving enough to never have to go back to living like that, no matter what happens, knowing how it feels? Knowing how to live like that and actually living with nothing are 2 different things.

It's good that you'll be fine if you go back to nothing, but it very much isn't a reason to spend all the money.
Reasons to spend all the money could be eg that it makes you happier (I very much doubt that) or that it makes the world a better place (you didn't say how you spend the money, so perhaps?).
