[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Interesting to see the different perspectives.  A couple clarifications:

My sister was never an addict or anything close.  I think it would be fair to describe her as a pothead though.  It was a lifestyle thing, not a dependency thing.  She was a bit of a slacker too I would say.  But not either of those things anymore.

I do not have a problem cobbling together 50k.  Getting $$ from mom isn't make or break.  I just don't think gifts this big should go to one sib and not the other.  It is a matter of principle.

I am not resentful of my sis at all.  I am happy for her to be buying a house and really settling down.  She's a good person, and I am happy for her.  She is also responsible with money, so I don't think she'll be back needing more handouts.  This is a one-time thing.  Again, my issue is that mom is investing a big piece of her resources in one child but not the other in order to even out our lifestyles I guess.  I feel like kids should get the same help and be left to their own devices.  Exceptions would be for drastic situations like overwhelming medical bills.  [/quote]
