My sibling and I are both adults. I work hard and manage my finances carefully. My sibling, on the other hand, has a history of poor financial decisions. They frequently ask me for money, claiming it’s an emergency. Over the years, I’ve helped them multiple times, but they’ve never paid me back or helped me in return when I needed it.

Recently, they asked me for a significant amount of money to cover their rent. I refused, explaining that I can’t keep bailing them out without any accountability. They got upset, called me selfish, and even told our family, who are now pressuring me to give them the money.

I feel guilty because I know they’re struggling, but I also think it’s not fair to me. AITA for saying no?
