[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Money brings out the worst in people. Years ago someone I was very good friends with who is a multi millionaire and lives in a 8 million dollar home got into an argument with me in a restaurant over my suggestion that we split the bill when I had a lobster club and she had a burger. I had put up with her stinginess for years but that was a final straw as she made such a big deal about it, she was draped in an outfit that probably cost 3k and here she was fuming over a 12.00 price differential. That was the final straw and was ugly to watch.

When its money she spends on herself there were no limits but she had a real hangup about God forbid handing out a few dollars to anyone, even those she cared about. It was a deplorable trait and even worst when someone has an excess of money.

I just have no tolerance and OP you are totally right to feel the way you do, she took full advantage of the discount you got and used it as an opportunity to even less than the 25% she was only paying to begin with. Talk about nerve!!! I think you need to stand your ground and tell her how you feel, but if her relationship means something, in the end maybe agree to disagree and know that in the future, you might want to consider each staying in your own hotels with your own bills.

We all know people like this! Drive you nuts! But now that I have a lot more money, I noticed this: Since you spend, spend, spend all the time, all at once you get tired of it and won't spend even $1. (to make up for it? b/c your tired od it ? It seems like you should save somewhere --but not on my jewelry !!) Then when you are there with the lunch, it all just seems like "gotta stop somewhere!" But so unfair to the person who is the recipient of this spending guilt.

In this case it seems a bit passive aggressive of the other sister. Like she is boiling jealous and the other sis does not notice.[/quote]
