On the r/AmItheA**hole subreddit, this 18-year-old Redditor (OP) shared that she recently faced unexpected tensions with her older sister over saving money for a car.
The OP detailed that she recently graduated, and now she lives at her mom's house and has no car, while her sister owns a house that their mom helped her buy and has a second car that she got from their mom.
However, the confusing thing is that the older sister felt uncomfortable when the younger brother saved $10,000 to buy a car. She even asked their mother for a share of the OP's college fund. Scroll down to read the entire story.
