21-year-old steals her 18-year-old step-brother’s car after he refuses to let her drive it to her friend’s birthday party: ‘He got his spare keys, took an Uber to the location, got in the car and drove it home.’
The earlier you learn that life isn’t fair, the better off you’ll be. It can be incredibly emotionally difficult to see people in your family getting treated differently from you. Or better yet, seeing family members getting treated the same as you, but getting better results because of circumstances out of both of your control. …

41-year-old brother borrows $16K from 39-year-old sister over the years, insists that she give him more money after she gave him $2K just 2 weeks before: ‘My husband and I just had a 3 hour conversation with him saying no!’
You really can’t help someone who refuses to help themself. You can throw as much money as you want at a situation, but it will not address the underlying issues of irresponsibility and dysfunction that lead to the need for extra money in the first place. It’s difficult to accept that you can’t do anything …

29-year-old squanders $75K inheritance from her grandma, asks her sister who invested her inheritance to pay $8K to fix her broken-down car: ‘She said I am selfish because I clearly have the money.’
I will never understand someone who thinks they are entitled to your money just because you have it and they asked for it. It doesn’t even occur to them that maybe you worked hard for that money, saved it for years, or went without things that you wanted in order to keep it safe from …

‘It’s incredibly unsafe and illegal to have a baby in the front seat like that’: 24-year-old drive-thru worker confronts customer with baby in front seat with no car seat, mom claims she did it because the baby was crying
A lot of drivers are all too willing to break the rules of the road if they feel like they can get away with it. I don’t really understand why you would drive without a seatbelt or refuse to use your blinker, even if you don’t technically feel like you need them in that moment. …

Brother refuses to pick his sister up from the airport after she says that his old Honda Civic is too embarrassing to be seen in: ‘She called our mom from the terminal crying because I stranded her in another city’
I am indebted to anyone who has ever picked me up from the airport. As someone who hasn’t had my own car to drive in 5 whole years, I’m very dependent on public transit to get me everywhere I need to go in my city. In other cities without major public transit systems, I must …

Parents pressure their 18-year-old daughter to give her car to her 16-year-old brother after she’s been paying for it off for two years: ‘My parents say that he needs it more now since I’m an adult and should start figuring things out myself.’
It’s tough being the younger sibling in a frugal family. You get so used to getting all of your older siblings’ leftover toys, clothes, and technology that you struggle to remember what it’s like to get something new. Sure, all of your needs are technically being met, but you can see the discrepancy between you …

14-year-old ignores her 17-year-old sister after she starts calling her «her brother» because the younger sister likes to work on cars with her older sister’s boyfriend: ‘She started yelling and accusing me of trying to steal her boyfriend’
There is never a time when gender norms are more strictly enforced than during childhood. When you’re an adult, you can present yourself any way you want, and most people won’t question it to your face, but kids pick up on the slightest deviation from any norm. The reason they do that is because the adults in …

Parents buy 18-year-old daughter a $65K Jeep after originally agreeing to pay 25K-30K, befuddles their 27-year-old son who previously offered $5K for car payments: ‘The 5k won’t even last the summer’
If there is one thing people love wasting money on, it’s expensive cars. I come from a town where people would buy $70K vehicles for themselves but wouldn’t pay for their kid’s college education. I don’t understand why, if you had the ability, you would sink money into something constantly losing value rather than something …

One of the most important issues that married couples have to be on the same page about is their finances. After all, you usually can’t live the life you hope to live together if there isn’t some money in the bank. While not everybody may agree on things like shared accounts or paying for certain …
