Sister asks for $8k of her sister's inheritance to repair her car after blowing through her own entire $75k inheritance: 'She said I am selfish because we both received the same inheritance and I clearly have the money'

Financial responsibility is something you either learn or learn the hard way—or don't learn at all and doom yourself to repeating the same mistakes forever. If you're lucky enough, your parents will attempt to guide you in these matters, whether or not that lesson sinks in. Or you may be gifted with a great deal of self-discipline that keeps you from making serious financial misjudgments. Should you fail to learn it, you'll quickly blow through any sum of money you might receive, watching it erode away faster than you ever thought possible. From there, it's hard to stop the habit of impulsive spending that you've learnt, and you're digging yourself into a deeper and deeper hole. That negative balance or mounting sum on your credit card will catch up with you eventually.

Of course, those of us who are lucky enough have family who can support us when we run into a spot of financial trouble, though not everyone has this advantage. Still, it would be best not to take this lightly, and preferably, the causes would be circumstantial and not of our own making. Running around and demanding money from family isn't something that you should be doing like this sister is here.
