Long story short we were out for the morning...my dsis kept saying she wanted to get home for lunch time to feed the kids and wouldn't have lunch out as she was broke. Fair enough. Anyway timings went awry and we ended up in the middle of town at prime lunch time. I wanted lunch and so did my dc. Dsis said no she was going to get back to the car as she couldn't afford it. I said " oh come on I'll pay it's not a big deal!" So I bought lunch. All good. It was nice, all was eaten.

The very next day I rang my Dsis and as we were talking she said, my tyre got a puncture this morning so I'm in getting a new tyre as it can't be fixed. I said "oh dear are you ok for money?" She said "ah yeah I just transferred it out of the savings!

Aibu to think she could have done that the day before at lunch rather than letting me pay? I know I was happy to and I offered but I'm just a bit...Hmm now!!

I agree with her. The only way you can build up savings is by having rules on what you can dip into them for and what you can't. Lunch out isn't a necessity but a tyre is.

Broke to me is having zero or - in the bank. So I see where you are coming from. But her definition of broke is obviously just different from yours and it was an emergency purchase not something like lunch which is a luxury.

Having zero money for an emergency is more than broke to me. It's desperate.

But I suppose if you spend your last £10 on a lunch out then you end up like this?

Not a good way to live.

I do appreciate that lots of people end up like this, not by being frivolous but because circumstances have made it happen.

Come on Op! You are being extremely unreasonable
You owe her an apology for bullying her into lunch out which must have embarrassed her
Is this post for real or a reverse?
