[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it normal for siblings to be hyper jealous of you?  I am asking because my sister came visit our newly built custom home and the jealousy on her face couldn't be more obvious, and almost seem hateful.  We are very low-key on how much money we make, I guess it was a shock to her to see our new house?  We saved for years and years and lived in a tiny crappy place before this, she lives in a lower cost-of-living city and bought a nice big house years ago.  She doesn't seem the least bit happy for me that we finally bought our forever home.  [/quote]

Dear OP, I completely understand. I'll give you 3 examples as well. We lived in a nice but basic beige rectangle of a home and an apt previous to that to save and made very crazy sacrifices to move into our "forever larger home". The moment my youngest brother visited our home, I could tell he felt a little uncomfortable and once or twice he reacted in a conversation out of jealousy when mentioning "normal" things such as HOA issues, amenities in the neighborhood. It was bragging and one upping to him because he does not have these type of things in his life. 
The second moment is when my parents visited for the first time, during their visit they extended us an international trip. They announced it and everything but the moment they left our home for the first time, they canceled the trip and stated that it was too expensive for them. 
And lastly my BEST FRIEND that I maintained 10+ years of friendship with from college, stopped regularly reaching out after I told her about moving into my dream, forever home.

All this to say, if you are doing better in comparison to others, unfortunately they will often drop you due to the money thing. Or be jealous. I think it's normal but it sucks. [/quote]
