Because I am an adult

[Ninjasquirrel]

I tried that, no takers.
My DH made me stash $50 in my truck for emergencies, then asked me where I hid it so he would know if he needed it, lol.

You should have told him you dont remember and made that shopping money

It amazes me how many people don't carry any cash. The younger generation you can kind of figure they grew up with debit cards and ATM machines but I have friends and family 50+ years old that carry zero cash. To me it's nuts when you stop in a store for a soda and have to use a debit card or buy more stuff because they have a minimum dollar amount to use a credit card. Now most of these friends and family have had their card hacked at one time or another or multiple times and I figure it's because they use it so much and at convenience stores and fast food places things like that. We do use credit cards for gas/diesel fuel and a lot of other things that are like 20 bucks or more and they get paid off every month. We use our debit card at one local grocery store and the ATM and that's it. Eating out we pay cash I could count the number of times I've used a credit card for dining out on one hand. If I don't have at least a hundred bucks or more in my wallet then I am likely headed for the ATM machine.
As for her being an adult statement and professional business I might have had to say something like well in keeping with being an adult and running a professional business like most businesses we don't allow charges of less than ten dollars would you like more eggs or just an up charge for the ones you have?
Doing business with family and friends is often more difficult than dealing with total strangers for one reason or another.

Even then I wouldnt want it on my paypal. Its not connected to my bank account for security reasons and I explained this to her. 3 dollars isnt a lot of money. I dont understand how you cant just dig around in your purse and not find at least a dollar in change. There are a lot of businesses that are cash only still. What do you do if you have a flat and the air pump only takes quarters? What do you do if you want to go to the spray off car wash and you dont have change? What if your cell phone dies and your stranded with just a pay phone?

My sister died unexpectedly at age 34... I would give her every egg I get for the rest of my life if I could have her back.

Make up with your sister. She may be the biggest pain in the butt, most ungrateful, selfish, hard to get along with witch you know.... but make up with her. Because you never know when you might get that phone call....

I am very sorry for your loss. My sister and I are not fighting over this though. She just owes me money. We have had plenty of disagreements but we always make up

I am glad that this is not really affecting your relationship with your sister and that you are mature enough to understand that this is who she is. That is adulting.

I accepted who she is a long time ago. She treated me very poorly growing up. She treated me very poorly during her wedding planning and the wedding itself. I had to be the bigger person and just take her abuse because I knew it was not about me at the end of the day and it was just her frustration. I needed time to cool off though and didnt speak to her for almost a year after she got married. I made amends with her but even if you pull the nails out the wood still remains scarred. I know that she is my sister which means she will always be there. We are not friends though. She would like to be but...I can't. She is truly a cruel and insensitive person. A lot of our interactions have been this way and I just put up with it because that's what you do because family is important. Thats why I just gotta vent about it. Take a breath, let it go and move on.
