She Took The Wedding Money That Her Mom Intended To Give To Her Sister Because She Loaned Her Sister Money And Never Got Paid Back
Several months ago, this 25-year-old allowed her sister, 29, to borrow some money. Even though she earns a good living, she has a lot of monthly expenses, including a student loan.
To be able to pay her bills, she does her best not to spend too much.
“I, however, decided to give my sister what would be about six months of my pay from my savings after she had a major house accident and needed repairs done,” she said.
When her sister asked her if she could borrow some money, she was unsure if she should, but her sister assured her that she would pay her back.
This isn’t the first time her sister has asked to borrow money. Unfortunately, even when her sister promises to pay her back, she never returns the full amount back to her.
Her sister had never asked her for this much money, though, so she was understandably a bit uneasy about letting her borrow so much, given her track record.
Three months after she loaned her sister the money, she still hadn’t been paid back any of the money.
“When I confronted her about it, she told me I was cruel to ask her for money at a time when she had wedding preparations and a child to take care of,” she explained.
Her sister’s daughter is 7-years-old. After hearing this, she offered up the option of her sister giving her partial payments until she was able to finish paying her back.

Her sister didn’t like this option, arguing that she had a tight budget and didn’t have any extra money available to make payments each month.
She was furious and couldn’t think of another way of getting her money back. Later, her mother, 58, was going to transfer a lot of money to her because she wanted her to forward the money to her sister.
Her mother was giving this money to her sister to help pay for her wedding, but she wasn’t able to find her sister’s bank account number, so she transferred it to her so that she could send it to her sister from there.
“I didn’t transfer the money because my sister owed me. This money, though, wasn’t as much as what she had borrowed, but I decided to keep it. My mom called to ask if I sent it, and I told her I didn’t and why. She said I couldn’t do that because the money wasn’t mine, and this was stealing,” she shared.
Then, her mother pointed out that there was the possibility that her sister would give her some of this money after receiving it, which she would be perfectly okay with, but she couldn’t keep her mother’s money that was intended for her sister.
She stands by her decision to keep this money. Eventually, her sister learned about the situation and aggressively ordered her to give her the money that her mother wanted her to have.
So far, she has repeatedly told her sister she won’t be sending it to her.
Do you think she was wrong to keep her mother’s money that was intended for her sister?
