After the 17-year-old mentioned that her sister was not good with money, had two children, and both she and her husband were unemployed, I saw where this story was going. Though we would prefer to give our family members the benefit of the doubt, we have to think realistically here. If the sister has already spent $6k of her own inheritance, what's $2k of someone else's? Even if the sister has every intention to pay the 17-year-old back before she notices the cash is gone, the very fact that she took the money without her knowledge and continuously lies about where the funds are going suggests she is feeling not nearly as guilty as she should be feeling. Even after the sister is confronted, she still has the same old excuses.

17-year-old demands 26-year-old sister pay back $2200 she sneakily stole out of her inheritance: ‘She had meant to get the money back in the account before I noticed’
When a loved one passes on, they might leave material or fiscal goods behind to be split among the surviving family or friends. The only thing that might be a bit frustrating while you're actively grieving a loved one is navigating the will. I'd be lying if I said I completely understood the fine print and legal jargon that is included in the creation of a will, but there is proof in that confusion that wills have a lot of rules. This is all to say that the 17-year-old who posted this story could not access her $6000 inheritance because she is a minor, so her 26-year-old sister takes on the bank account until she is 18 years old.
Though we can hope and pray that our family members will never do us wrong, the hamartias of human nature prove us wrong every time. The 17-year-old's sister has been sneakily taking money out of the account—and this is after the sister blows through $6000 of her own inheritance. Instead of explaining that she was tight on cash, she decided to steal over $2000 from her sister who is counting on this money for college.
Naturally, the family is split—keep scrolling to see how the situation unfolds.
