17-year-old spends the entire summer babysitting her 26-year-old sister's two kids, only for the teen's sister to not pay her the $1500 she is owed: ‘I worked for that money’

Mixing family and money is never a good idea, especially if you're heavily reliant on the money they'll owe you at the end of your tenure as an "employee" with them. The teen in this next story learns this the hard way when her older sister fails to pay her the money she's owed after eight weeks of work. The teen decided to take her sister up on the offer because she needed the money and figured it would be a nice gig while also helping out her sister. What she didn't know, however, was that she would only see $500 of the $2000 she was expected to receive.

Everyone struggles with their finances at some point in their lives… The common man's hardship is something most of us experience, so it's not unusual to read about the older sister's financial situation. If the older sister knew that she wouldn't be able to cough up the cash she promised her teen sister, you'd think she wouldn't have hired her in the first place. Now, the teen's older sister is trying to guilt-trip her into waiting a longer amount of time for the rest of the promised payment, using her daughter's birthday party as a scapegoat. Maybe the older sister should have budgeted for both the party and childcare…
