“You should get a real house instead of that shoebox”: Older sister makes fun of younger brother’s apartment for years, comes crawling to stay for free there when her relationship goes under, he refuses

Hey there, internet folk. These days, it seems like everything is nearly unaffordable. From rent prices, to eggs, to going out for a drink once in a while, the cost of living has skyrocketed so much that there seems to be no going back. Even for people who make a "good income" it's difficult to stay afloat. It's even more expensive to live on your own than with roommates, which creates a strange trade off. One can either live with other people who they may or may not get along with, or they can live alone but in a cramped space. Unless you live in the middle of nowhere, these are probably your only two options. 

In the story below, the protagonist lives in a…cramped space. His sister seems to think she's above it, and continually mocks him for his living situation. Then one day, she tries to come crawling to him out of the woodwork looking for free room and board. Maybe he would have let her stay there, but her comments got the better of him and he refuses to let her. Read the full story below for all the juicy details.
