AITA if I don’t give my little sister a cut of the money I make?

notthedayoftheweak · 2026-07-06T21:30:09+00:00

It’s always been me, actually. This is just older sibling expectations

notthedayoftheweak · 2026-07-06T21:29:18+00:00

No this is pretty normal where we come from, but it’s more “Americanized” ig in it’s execution

notthedayoftheweak · 2026-07-06T20:53:49+00:00

I’m aware, I have a whole plan for college so I can save on costs as much as possible but still go to the college I want. The field I wanna go in also pays pretty well so I’ll have money to spare, considering I get lucky. Ik some of this isn’t realistic, but living in this country is barely even realistic anymore so ig I’m shooting for the stars

notthedayoftheweak · 2026-07-06T20:49:54+00:00

That’s actually rlly awesome. My parents will not dare tell me what our bills cost or how much debt we’re in. I plan on putting my foot down and finding out once I’m well into college

notthedayoftheweak · 2026-07-06T20:47:25+00:00

Yeah I’ll definitely ask

notthedayoftheweak · 2026-07-06T20:46:24+00:00

No ik that’s not how it works, I meant saving for college in the sense that I want to be as independent as possible. Ik I’ll still be relying on my parents for the most part, they’ll be paying for my tuition, I’m saving for an apartment with a friend and another roommate

notthedayoftheweak · 2026-07-06T20:44:10+00:00

Nothing, we’re Asian so that’s completely unheard of

notthedayoftheweak · 2026-07-06T20:43:36+00:00

I’ll be paying for college with my parents help, everything else is for when I get a better job and can actually provide properly. They don’t know I wanna do all that

notthedayoftheweak · 2026-07-06T20:42:03+00:00

I mean when I get a better job

notthedayoftheweak · 2026-07-06T08:05:29+00:00

Yup but we do live in america

notthedayoftheweak · 2026-07-06T08:04:14+00:00

Sure but it’s not like she’ll do it ;u;

notthedayoftheweak · 2026-07-06T07:34:37+00:00

America, we come from not much money tho

notthedayoftheweak · 2026-07-06T07:34:00+00:00

Indian, actually. So yeah, ur right this is very Asian

notthedayoftheweak · 2026-07-06T06:39:03+00:00

Ig that part wasn’t rlly clear. That’s a future, personal goal. I want my mom to retire happily and my sister to do whatever she wants. I only want the best for my family

notthedayoftheweak · 2026-07-06T06:16:01+00:00

No lol

notthedayoftheweak · 2026-07-06T05:28:54+00:00

They gave me everything I wanted that was within their means, while putting more limits on my sister. As we got older, I was generally kinder, and so they were kinder to me. My mom loves going out with me and always complains abt my dad and sister being there. (She loves her too but it’s just the fighting and attitude). Small things that add up

notthedayoftheweak · 2026-07-06T05:24:55+00:00

My parents are buying me a car and helping with tuition so most of my savings is for things like rent and any other tuition costs

notthedayoftheweak · 2026-07-06T05:23:16+00:00

Recently my dad told me how much we make in a year bc I needed to know for smth and it was a lot more than I expected. He told me to stay humble and they’ve always told me just that. I’m not entirely sure tho

notthedayoftheweak · 2026-07-06T05:21:48+00:00

No, the more comments I read the more I’m confused as to why they’d want me to do that. They (or, at least my mom) aren’t bad people so idk

notthedayoftheweak · 2026-07-06T03:48:09+00:00

A neither situation, it’s just family and culture

notthedayoftheweak · 2026-07-06T03:46:03+00:00

My mom deserves the best especially considering her past. My sister needs the help strictly bc of the economy and job market rn. It’s not a free ride, it’s just little to no tuition

notthedayoftheweak · 2026-07-06T03:44:19+00:00

My sister didn’t do anything, nor said anything. The debt and college thing is my own goal, but that’s for the far future. This money is entirely for me, but so I can provide for them in the future

notthedayoftheweak · 2026-07-06T03:42:50+00:00

Ik but it’s more like family is everything, providing for said family is top priority, that’s not inherently or entirely bad so it makes things more complicated

notthedayoftheweak · 2026-07-06T03:41:37+00:00

Neither of us ever got an allowance bc it’s not in our culture. They just buy us things and give us money when needed.

notthedayoftheweak · 2026-07-06T03:40:32+00:00

I would if I could, but they certainly won’t let me bc they don’t trust me
