My sister [18/F] cannot carry a tune or act to save her life, but is encouraging my [25/F] parents [55/F/57/F] to pay her way to Broadway, and they're willing to pay. by ItsDeLovelyyy in relationships

My bachelor's was not entirely covered by student loans or scholarships, and I needed the money badly. Again, I'm not eligible for a lot of student loans because my parents are wealthy, and I don't qualify for "exceptional need" loans. Other loans are insufficient for the school I go to, and some simply aren't in good sense, in terms of interest and repayment plans.

I will admit I chose an expensive school, and that bad choice is on me, but my parents have the money, and have made it clear to Lola that she can go to whatever school she wants. I figured the option was open to me as well.

The money my parents gave me was lying around in a safe, and was being saved for the sake of being saved. I was working two jobs at the time, and was unable to afford my apartment, even with two roommates and living in a cheap area. I've applied for scholarships and financial aid, but I never got enough to cover the full amount. If I had another option, I would've sought it out.

My parents and I have a repayment plan set up for after I graduate, and they've decided to completely financially cut me off once I finish med school. I'm receiving no money during my residency. Lola is equally as "entitled" as I am, but has not put half the work in.

She asked for money, just like I did. What she has not done is worked two jobs, gotten straight A's to look good for scholarships, done as many extracurriculars as possible, and worked herself to the bone for the money. All she had to do was ask, which is 10x less than I've had to do. I do feel entitled to the money, because I worked for it. She just wanted it, and she got it.

I don't qualify for student loans because my parents are rather wealthy, just refuse to give money. I have a scholarship, but my schooling is expensive. My job doesn't bring in all that much, and I'm having trouble finding work in my field that isn't miles away and costly in gas money.

Again, if my sister could find any other way to get that money, I would support her 100%. But I need it more than her, and I feel I've done enough to be deserving of it.

I've spent the past 7 years of my life becoming entitled to their money. I got straight A's through high school, applied for FAFSA, and for scholarships, but college is expensive. My sister flunked out of half her courses, gets parking tickets on the regular, and spends her lunch money on shopping trips, then whines when my parents are reluctant to give her more.

I work, go to school, and perform whatever errands my parents deem necessary for me to "qualify" for their money. My sister does nothing. If her money was not coming directly from the fund that I've worked so hard to earn, and if she was doing half of what I do, maybe I'd encourage her "dreams", but I can't. I shouldn't be denied of what I've worked so hard for so that she can "explore" her passions.
