[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]

Too bad your sister can't buy some manners with that big income of hers![/quote]
