[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought OP was going a different way.  With my sister, it seems that I 'play the poor card' as she says and then she criticizes my every spending habit.  But, our HHI are VERY different (she's at least 4 times ours) and she's never had to make ends meet the way we do.  When she asks us to do a girls night out or go away for a weekend and I say it's not in our budget, she'll bring up the fact that I bought my kids clothing or bought them a toy or did some 'want' repair to the home and not a 'need' repair.  It get's annoying but there is no other way to say sorry, we can't go away that weekend- she'll choose another one.

But, we are not vacationing and I think that taking out a loan for a vacation has hot mess finances written all over it.  Everyone has different priorities but it seems they need a reality check!

Have you tried to talk to them about it? Kind of then did you see in the news the family that lost everything type thing.  I know it's hard but once my sister finally bitched me out, I've never said another word about finances...she still tries to tell me how to spend my money though.[/quote]

Sorry, but your sister is beyond rude. When anyone (sister or not) says they can't make it, you say sorry to hear that, not pick apart the reasons why you can't come.[/quote]
