Which is worse? To horde or give grudgingly?

Neither brings God's wrath. The only wrath you'll get is from people you know.

The heart is in the same position so it does not matter. Thankfully, we are not commanded to tith just give to those who are needy not for gain but from love.
Blessings.

God says putting trust in man, i.e. the flesh/ a man or men, carnal,
will bring God's curse.

For this reason, Solomon advised, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom. Instead, fear the Lord and turn away from evil. Then you will have healing for your body and strength for your bones” (Proverbs 3:5–8, NLT).

If you are "saved", then you are in fact saved from the wrath of God.

When we are saved and in Christ, we aren't looking for which works will save us, because none of our works have that ability. Only the perfect works of Christ can save us from the wrath of God.

However, when we are saved from God's wrath, we experience His Love, which causes us to want to do things that are pleasing to God. (We love, because He first loved us).

The question should be then what makes God happy? What kind of behavior does God think is pleasing - according to Scriptures?

Since God loves a cheerful giver (2 Corinthians 9:6-7) I would put cheerful giving pretty high on the list of things that are pleasing to God.

However, sometimes it's simply habit forming to be obedient, and this has it's benefits too as your creating new pathways to bring all aspects of your life in line with His way, even if it first it seems a little begrudgingly.

There's a point to make here, everything you do is freely given to Him, whether out of a desire to bring your ways in line with His ways, or whether your cheerful at it.

It's not transactional. Your not buying heaven.

You get what you give.

Galatians 6:7

Heart matters.
