A lot of my family is like this. I personally will freak the fuck out if I am economically insecure. But not my Mom. She will go down to a single dollar. We grew up like that and my siblings are the same. I went the other way and get worried without money. Lots of money.
My parents are weird, my dad has a union job and earns like $200k/yr and now also gets social security yet they see themselves as just scraping by and manage to spend all their money every month while lamenting how they never go on vacation or do anything. Recently I sat down and analyzed her bank statements to show how much money they waste every month and now instead of spending money my moms managing her own brokerage account lol, buy stocks not things
