AITJ for refusing to share my work bonus with my sister who says I "owe" her??

That’s what happens when one sibling gets a nice work bonus and the other suddenly remembers something from five years ago. A rent‑free couch stay that was once an act of generosity has now been reclassified as a retroactive loan complete with adjusted market rates. The sister’s logic goes something like this: being kind in 2018 was actually an early investment, and the payoff is due now that you’ve had a bit of luck. If her request sounds like karma with compound interest, that’s because it basically is.

And the use of funds makes it even better. Not for bills or groceries or a crisis. No, she’s billing her sibling for an all‑inclusive Hawaiian getaway. That’s a certain kind of confidence. Imagine going through life believing every good deed has a five‑year buyback clause. The cherry on top is the Venmo request titled Rent repayment 2018 followed by another when it’s declined. The persistence is almost admirable if you ignore the part where it’s wildly unhinged.

What makes the whole thing funnier is the family chorus that follows. The mother steps in with the classic Remember who helped you speech, as if living rent-free half a decade ago means you now owe a lifetime of subsidies. It’s not even real guilt at this point, just performative drama that makes everyone feel productive.

If this story has a moral, it’s that favors don’t come with expiration dates but apparently some families do. Once you start treating kindness like a credit card, you’ll always be chasing someone else’s bonus check.
