This 38-year-old woman and her 34-year-old sister grew up utterly poor with their single mom, and every day was a battle for all of them.

Their mom sadly passed away when they hit their early 20s, and she promised herself that she would work hard to give herself a better life than she had as a child.

Since she grew up in a town on the water and going to the beach cost nothing, she frequently went there and fell in love with marine animals.

That inspired her to become a marine biologist, and that’s the job she currently holds. She doesn’t make seven figures a year, but she is financially secure, and her husband has an excellent job teaching.

They are able to provide for themselves and their children, and she’s happy with what she has achieved in life. She thinks her mom would be proud of her if she could see where she is today.

“However, my sister is becoming a problem for us,” she explained. “In the past, she’s asked us for money, and I’ve always gladly helped her out.”

“She works as a hairstylist and definitely isn’t in poverty as we were in our childhood. She has a lovely home and a nice husband.”

Unfortunately, her sister is becoming increasingly entitled with how frequently she asks them for money, and it’s really upsetting her.

Her sister will just ask her and her husband for enormous sums of money, but she never mentions what she needs the money for.

When she does try to pry, her sister will roll her eyes and tell her she doesn’t need the money anyway.

She also has an issue with how her sister behaves when she comes to her house. She will make nasty comments about how large and empty their home is, and she will outright ask how much her furniture or home decor items cost her.

“Recently, she told me she feels I’m too extravagant with my money and says I’m “flaunting” my wealth by having nice things,” she explained.

“She said that it makes her jealous and prompts her to ask me for money. Frankly, the way she said it made me feel like she was blaming me, and I got really annoyed.”

“Unsurprisingly, my sister asked for money in the same breath, and I refused. Since then, she hasn’t said a word to me, but her husband keeps texting to say she’s very upset (the extent to which he feels the same way as my sister is unknown to me).”

She’s left wondering if it was wrong of her to lay down the law with her sister and if she somehow has been showing off how rich she is.
