You know how they say housing problems can cause a lot of issues? Well, people online shared their stories, and it’s true—money and housing issues can bring out bad feelings.
The Story:
After I offered to pay more rent because I heard my parents were having money problems, I found out my sister, who also lives with our parents, doesn’t pay any rent, while I’ve been paying $800 a month. During a heated family talk, my sister refused to pay her share, and when I suggested a fair split, things got tense. Frustrated with the unfairness, I said I wouldn’t pay more unless she did. This led to fights with my parents, who now call me selfish for wanting fair rent, while my sister still refuses to help.
