Stepsister wants us to pay for our parents’ retirement, but I said no

When it comes to family, money can be a touchy subject. One Redditor found themselves in a sticky situation when their stepsister proposed a retirement plan for their parents. However, there were a few catches that made the Redditor hesitant to contribute. Not only did they already have a joint account with their sister to help their mom financially, but they also didn’t trust their stepsister and thought the proposed contribution breakdown was unfair. After saying no, things got heated between the siblings. Do you think the Redditor was in the wrong for refusing to contribute? Read on to find out more.

Stepsister wants us to pay for parents’ retirement, but I said no

A stepsister has proposed a retirement plan for their parents, asking each sibling to collectively contribute £3k each month for the rest of their parents’ lifetime. The money would be kept in an account in her name only and only given to them once her stepdad retires fully. However, one sibling refused to contribute due to concerns about the unfair distribution of contributions, lack of legal marriage, and lack of trust in the stepsister. This decision caused tension between the siblings, with accusations of selfishness and greed. Read on for the comments and reactions to this family dispute.
