[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Life has a funny way of evening out. So, just sayin'. [b]Life is long.[/b] You have a job to do, a challenge to rise up to - and that's to NOT be jealous. This will tell what kind of person you are. And while you are working on yourself, know that you can ask/inform sis when she has focused too much on her own good fortune, and money issues.[/quote]

This. OP, life has a way of working itself out. [/quote]

What is that supposed to mean? That the sister will suffer in the long-term, and then they'll be even?

OP, kudos to you for remaining positive both about your sister and her fiance and about your own husband. I would also find this very hard.[/quote]

NP here.  Life doesn't have to be a competition.  When someone says "Life is long." it means that you, the person being focused on has a long life with opportunities for good luck, good experiences and just plain good karma to come down on her.  You should not compare your life to someone else's, but just compare to your own life.  Do you have your needs addressed?  Do you have some luxuries or wants cared for?  Do you have a improving future to look forward to?

To many people spend their lives looking at other peoples' lives and comparing themselves to others that they forget to stop and enjoy their own life and the pleasures they have.

Also for those who insist on looking outwards at others, you have no ideas what trials they have underneath or what challenges they face.  Yes, she is marrying into money, but suppose that she ends up with in-laws who hold tight controlling apron strings on her future DH.  Is that worth it for the money?  Or suppose that with the money comes commitments like an expectation that she give up her job/career for whatever purpose that the in-laws deem important.  Is that worth it?  You don't know their full situation and you don't get to pick and choose the nice things in someone else's life and only value their life around that.  [/quote]
