I'm 20 years old and I'm attending college online. I work at a catering company on the weekends. I think I've always been pretty good with my money. I'm a cheap person and I don't want to blow all of my money because I know I can't afford to. My sister is the opposite. She constantly spends her money on stupid things until she has none left. Recently she moved away from home to live in another state with her boyfriend, but they're clearly not ready to live out on their own. Every week she asks me for money, almost guilting me into giving it to her. Before she moved out I gave her $300 because she was going to need it for Uber rides. Not even a month has gone by, and she asked me for $30 2 weeks ago. We didn't even discuss her paying me back. Then she asked for $50 today because she'll need it for ubers. When I asked her what she did with the money I gave her FOR THE UBERS she told me she used it to by things for her new place. I really don't want a bad relationship between my sister and I because of money, but she never pays me back and I feel like I'm being taken advantage of. Lately I've just been ignoring her, but a small part of me feels awful about not helping. But I want her to understand that I don't even have that much money and I barely even work. I live with my dad and we're pretty much lower-middle class. I stash away my money because I don't want anyone to know about my finances. But I made a big mistake by letting my sister know, and now she always relies on me for a handout. It's getting really frustrating.
Sorry that this is super long, I just didn't have anyone to talk to about it.
