[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, we make $200k and only have a $500k house and could come up with the money easily. But your post is totally rubbing me the wrong way. You really have no idea if they are hugely in debt because of their choices. Maybe they are spenders and truly don't have it. Or perhaps more likely, maybe they think $10,000 is a HUGE expense to have to spend unexpectedly and they're balking because they will have to reevaluate saving or spending goals for the year or because they simply don't want to be forced to pay what is a ton of money by anyone's standards.

I get that you feel strongly that the parents do a lot for you and therefore they should be happy to help, but they said they don't have it and either way, you act like $10k is just a small sacrifice. A little recognition that it's a lot of money would be appreciated I'm sure.

And agree with the PPs - sounds like you have made the decision on what kind of car they should have and when and you just want your sibling to give you the money and butt out. You sound controlling and bossy. Why don't YOU just buy them a car if you think it's so important?[/quote]

My thoughts exactly!!!!!![/quote]
