'Stop punishing our parents for favoring me:' Woman labeled selfish after refusing to pay even a penny of parent's retirement after they waste it all on her brother's extravagant wedding

Hello, gossip goddesses. Retirement funds take decades to build up into something substantial. Prudent money-savers start planning and saving for their retirement when they are quite young, tucking extra money away little by little over a long period of time. This money is meant to sustain you when you quit working, and dipping into these savings should be an absolute last resort born of desperation; they certainly should not be used to finance the frivolous details of your son's lavish wedding — as was the case in our story today!

When an elderly couple drains their retirement savings to give their golden child the wedding of his dreams, they do so with the expectation that their other child will recompense them monetarily. They may never admit why they believe they are entitled to her money when she had nothing to do with the wedding that they wasted their pension on, but around here, we love to speculate. Get all the details of this family drama by scrolling down.
