[quote=Anonymous]You sound like a responsible person who has definite goals, is financial prudent, and ambitious. You will have some more years of hard work ahead of you (finishing law school, etc.) but it seems from what you've written you have a bright future ahead of you.

Your brother is the exact opposite. From what you describe, unless he has a major turnaround, this new school endeavor is not going to pan out into something particularly successful.

Siblings often get into conflicts over what is "fair". Yes, I can see your point of view, and why you think it is unfair that your brother gets this bigger room and still gets to claim it as "his" room even when he's away.

But... I'm going to suggest you let it go. You are still getting to live rent-free, you will most likely go one to a successful life where you can afford your own comfortable home. Based on what you've described, your brother probably only has that room in the basement to look forward to. Stay focused on yourself, your goals, getting yourself truly independent, and stop fretting over keeping score with your brother. [/quote]
