This has gone on our whole lives. I buy something for myself then she must get something better. Years ago when I bought my old car (as I needed to replace my car), she suddenly I need a new car. Now I bought a new car and she suddenly needs a new car but a bigger and mote expensive SUV. I sort of chuckled because I called it. I got myself new clothes and she needs to get herself new clothes to show off. I was looking at houses and she insisted oh I couldn't afford that. No!it's because she doesn't want me to buy it alone because she didn't. I could never understand why she thinks like this and done this since we were kids

so she needs to buy better things than me. A friend of mine said it's a way to be better than me. I go but I'm not playing the competition.

I think she's insecure.. hehe!! I have sisters also but they never do things like this, and I am thankful for that.

It is a competitive nature of her which made her keep getting what you get

She keeps hinting of going. She went to Florida last month and keeps commenting how she can't afford another vacation. But as a few years ago when I went she did the same then showed up.

Sounds like she has a jealousy streak in her. I have known people like this. It can become annoying to be around them.

It really Is especially when I offered to buy her car off her and she said no. But once I bought a new car she now buying one . It's sad she thinks this way.

I forget, she's older than you? Maybe she's like my older sister, wanting to be the only girl of the family. My mother told me that when she brought me home from the hospital, my older sister actually hit her when she found out I was a girl and not the baby brother she'd ordered.

That is frustrating. I agree she must feel insecure. I hope she does grow out of it.

There will always be people who think they are much better than the others. Dont mind them at all.

If this has been happening with you and your sister, just don't mind her reaction anymore because you:ll just stress yourself.
