Should I be liable for the holiday?
Hi,
So I (28f) and my sister (27f) are planning on going on holiday next month to Latin America.
She's had to leave her job to return back to Uni.
She's been travelling all year. Portugal, Malta and Croatia.
I told her I was going to Cancun and Costa Rica solo but she decided she wanted to come along. Flights have been paid for. Im just organising the itinerary.
It's gonna be an expensive holiday and she has been aware as I planned his holiday since April.
She's been cold towards me now because she's saying she won't be able to afford the holiday and hopes I can cover majority of it.
She's been buying Louis Vuitton bags etc., and now she's expecting me to downgrade my holiday plans to accommodate her or to cover majority of the holiday.
I do not think this is fair considering she knew the holiday would cost £4,000 each on average.
Bearing in mind - this will be my first holiday since January.
I need some sound advice, cos I have my own future and savings to think about and I do not want her leeching off me as she likes to do.

What’s her justification for expecting you to pay. I can see how you’re liable. Doesn’t seem like you get on the best anyway
This was really pointless...

It's a fair comment though - you're frustrated by her spending habits and lack of budgeting, and she's mooching off you solely because you're her sibling.
What have you said to her about the holiday, have you told her you can't afford to sub her?

Yes!
Im really annoyed because she's been blowing her money on all these holidays throughout the spring/summer and now she's suddenly saying "I have no job, meaning no income" and she's been moping around the house because of it.
But she still bought 2 LV bags... and went on all these trips and I managed her expectations and told her how much the holiday was going to cost. She still went along with everything and now she's being cold towards me.
Im unsure as to why,
My mother even said she would go into further debt for the house so she can help my sister through medical school which I think is stupid, cos she had a good job and she knew it was temporary so I just don't get why now...
She is expecting me to pay for most things. She should pay her half. Her excuse is "she doesn't want to go into her savings".

If she’s got savings I’d refuse to cover any of her half.
