If I earn 3000 rupees a month, and after the usual expenses I can save only 100 rupees, a gift of 1000 rupees could be seen in two ways: one third of my salary or ten times my monthly saving. What we tend to forget is that money is not the first point of exchange: it is an intermediate point. Even as one is struggling to earn money, one is exchanging a part of one's life for it. Pursuit of money can become an end in itself and destroy all sense of values.
When you buy a new house or car, you can consider the cost in terms of what price you have paid or more realistically in terms of how large a portion of life you had to expend to acquire it. Likewise, one's occupation could tend to become the sole pre-occupation until acquiring money becomes a way of life, thereby distorting one's sense of values. The only way to live a sensible life is to have sensible criterion for values.
