The girl asked Reddit for help after fighting her older sister about money. For years she has lent her sister a small amount. Sometimes she gave several hundred, once even a thousand dollars.
But the nurse barely returned the money. She has always had reasons such as break -up, loss of work or car problems. The younger sister never complained because she loved her and understood that life was difficult.
However, things changed when her sister recently asked for a $ 2,000 rental after her roommate moved out. This time the girl reached her limit.
The younger said she would help, but only if her nurse signed the basic agreement to return money within one year. It was not a legal document, just simple to ensure responsibility.
Her sister was angry and did not respond well: “She got super offended. She said I treat her as a random debtor, not a family.”
The poster explained that it is not a trust, but a clear limits. “I’m not a bank,” she told her sister.
When their parents entered, things got worse and asked her to forget about it because of her family. Yet she stood tight and said she was tired of being a backup plan.
“I’m not quite rich, I’m just better in budgeting and I don’t live a paycheck to pay like her,” she added.
At Reddit, she asked whether the border was made of him a “bad person”.
The reaction of social media
Social media users responded to its post, now removed by Reddit filters.
“If you lend family money, don’t expect it back. You are not AH by requesting documentation to make sure you have paid you. And every member of the family who criticizes you should be ready to lend it money,” one user wrote.
“He won’t pay you back – paper or no paper. You won’t sue it for a court for small claims because your parents will give you so hard time to dare.” The family ”for some people means that you are an ATM as long as they can get away with it,” another commented.
Another Reddit user has published: “The contract does not mean anything to it, even if it has signed it. She will not pay you back. She has already proved that she will not. She just stops giving money.”
“Stop giving her money, a period. Say the ball to your parents,” he said.
