Asking for money because we went on a cruise

Tweet

We went on the Alaskan Inside Passage Cruise, my husband and I. Now you have to understand my husband paid for it all, he makes most of the money, and he had saved for the trip by wise investing, stocks and such from what he inherited from his parents. All I have is my Canada pension plus the money I saved in bank accounts from myLot and the ptrs I belonged to ---not nearly enough. We stopped over for a couple of days with my husband's youngest brother, his wife (my sister-in-law, and their daughter. because my husband's other brother and his family plus the wife of his oldest brother, now deceased, was there with her son and sister. Now we told them all about the cruise and we did go out for Chinese, but when we had coffee or drinks later at their house, my sister-in-law asked me for $5.00 because we had been on the cruise. Now she may have been joking, but it still upsets me because it was the first cruise we had ever been on. She and Bill had traveled to Europe and to Mexico when they first were married and both had very good jobs. Now do yo suppose she was joking or was she serious? I am wary because in the past, people who knew I did not make much assumed I made too much and were always asking for money and making me feel guilty about refusing.
