“Due to excessive spending (two new cars per year, 5 vacations in star resorts each year, etc.), they are financially in trouble,” she said.
“My brother asked me if I could help with the utilities or the mortgage and told me he might lose his home. I lied and told him I wouldn’t be able to. Mostly because of their comments about my husband I didn’t and don’t want to help.”
“Also, part of me thinks that if they sold their still brand new cars and would buy used ones instead or even stop the constant vacations, there wouldn’t be any problems at all (due to the amount he is asking for).”
Despite not wanting to bail out her brother, she’s left feeling bad about the whole thing. She feels bad being judgemental about how her brother and his wife spend their money.
She also feels bad that she is perfectly capable of helping her brother pay off his mortgage and what he owes on his cars, and it wouldn’t impact her financial status in any way.
Regardless, she does not want to help at all, even though she has the means to do so. Do you think she’s obligated to help her brother simply because she has money?
