Parents Secretly Charged $115k On My Credit Card For My Sister's Europe Trip...- Reddit Family Tales

[@MikeHawke83]

115k on a credit card? What the hell she got MasterCard Black ?

All these stories are just make believe dont get too invested

[@Redhollow]

Apparently this amount is inaccurate. It was more like 15k.

sorry but i can't imagine how you'd spend so much money on a one month long vacation in europe, seems BS...maybe for half a year

there’s a bunch of designer products you can buy abroad, plus hotels, room service, food, etc… there’s a lot of stuff they could’ve spent that money on in europe

[@mort2619]

People have spent 10g on Coachella and that’s a weekend event. I can totally see them blowing over 100k on a month long vaca.

Im sorry, but this didn't happen. 115k for a month long European vacation on a single credit card and the parents will pay it back? And OP feels guilty about his sister not going on the trip??? Yeah, no.

[@RedditFamilyTales]

Thanks for your take! These stories can be pretty intense. What would you have done in Alex’s situation?

why would you even go that far just listen to the language being used its not how a normal person talks its all fake.

I think you’re assuming this is from America. $115,000 could be 15k US depending on the country. I’m from the US, my 1 month trip was $25,000. Not far fetched

[@Tequila-only]

And even 15k is a lot to charge someone so the outrage from OP seems legit, maybe since he's from another country, he uses more verbose language to explain his dilemma better??? (atleast in his eyes)

[@klassiekc1892]

Bless your heart for having 155K on a credit card. !!!

[@PandaNarratives]

what an intriguing story! you really captured the complexity of family dynamics. honestly though, i can’t believe the parents thought it was okay to charge that much without asking. like, that's just crossing a line, right? it's hard to feel sympathy for them when they clearly didn’t respect your boundaries.

[@StorySubreddit-y9e]

this video was really engaging and shed light on some complex family dynamics. but honestly, i can't believe the parents thought it was okay to do that without any discussion. it seems a bit unfair to put that financial burden on you just because they wanted to make your sister's trip a priority. i wonder how common this kind of thing really is in families.

[@bridgetsanchez6450]

I am having a hard time believing: 1. parents would think buying a $115k vacation for their kid is appropriate, 2. parents charging this on their sons credit card without permission, 3. That their son would randomly give parents his credit card, 4. Sister would be this spoiled, 5. Everyone acting like the brother is the asshole.

[@Moonglowprincess]

I would never give anyone my credit card regardless of relationship. Seems like a no brainer

[@Lichor2369]

What makes it easier to believe is just remember, that every warning label on any product, there was someone dumb enough to warrant that label being placed...

I don't have a problem believing any of it. I have seen way too much in my lifetime to discount any of this. Within my extended family. So ya, some families do this crap to each other!

[@TarnoffDeschner]

great video! I really appreciate how you shared this story with such clarity. but honestly, I feel like the sister was a bit out of line expecting her family to cover such a huge expense without any discussion. like, we all have responsibilities, right?

[@Infinitegaming-686a]

Boi how do they book to much ?! I can’t even spent that much in 3 months even if I tried😂

[@CuentosdeRelacionesRotas]

great video, very well put together! it’s wild to think about how some families handle money. i personally believe that sharing financial responsibilities should be clearer between siblings. like, why shouldn’t your sister contribute if she’s the one going on the trip? it definitely seems unfair to put that burden on you without a heads up.

[@Storylinesphere1208]

great video! i love how you shared this story, it really keeps you engaged. but honestly, i can't help but think the parents crossed a line using your card without asking. it's like, shouldn't they teach your sister the value of money instead of just funding her trip like that? just feels kinda unfair, don't you think?

[@StorySpins-t2e]

great job on the video, really interesting story! but honestly, i can't believe the parents thought it was okay to charge that much without any discussion. it feels pretty unfair to put that burden on you just because your sister wanted a trip. shouldn't family decisions be made together?

[@Molheppi]

What an intriguing video! I really appreciate how you presented such a sensitive topic. That being said, I can't help but think it's a bit unfair for the parents to expect their child to cover such a massive expense without discussing it first. I mean, charging $115k on someone else's credit card feels a bit like crossing a line, don’t you think?

[@CrazyFireTriangle]

Who on Earth has a credit limit like that when they're like in their twenties😂

[@bjkkddkensodm]

this video is super interesting and really well put together! it’s crazy how parents can just decide to spend such a large amount of money like that. honestly, i can’t help but think that it’s a bit unfair to put that kind of financial burden on you, especially since it sounds like it was kept a secret. i mean, shouldn’t family conversations about money be more transparent? it’s like they’re prioritizing one kid’s experience over the trust and responsibilities they should have with both children.

[@RedditFamilyTales]

Thank you so much! I completely agree that money decisions in families should be more transparent. It's tough when one child’s needs seem to outweigh fairness and trust for everyone.

[@rRevenge-Stories]

this video was really eye-opening and well put together! it's crazy how some families can have such different views on money. but honestly, i can't help but think the sister should’ve been more responsible for her own finances. i mean, charging that much without consent seems really unfair. it's just not right to assume you can dip into someone else's funds like that, even if you are family. what do you all think?

[@JennaRedditStories]

wow, this video is super intriguing and well put together! it's crazy to think about how family dynamics can get so messy over money. honestly though, i feel like the sister should’ve had a conversation with the parents before taking that trip. charging such a huge amount without discussing it first feels a bit unfair, doesn't it?

[@glundgren2097]

People who don't work hard, apply themselves, and sacrifice for their goals always expect to benefit from those who do. Entitlement is based on never being pushed back on for smaller entitlements. My family elders required me to work for their help, either directly or indirectly. Now I solve my problems by working to solve them. Now I avoid pitfalls because of the work it takes to get out of them. Doing the hard things up front avoids the pitfalls that are all along the shortcuts.

[@Debpeace]

I’d advise your sister to lock down her credit so they can’t abuse it you can put lock on the credit bureau that no charges can be opened unless they get verbal approval. This could save her in the long run too. Also, advise your sister the evils of cosigning. If the person quit paying she’s responsible for the loan and even the best friend or parent or whatever if that happens, they will hold it against her because they she it’s a car. She could take possession of the car and they could resent her for that cosigning is a big evil I’m also surprised that when charging that amount of money on your credit card that they didn’t, the credit card company, did not contact you to see if if you were approved that I know almost all of our cards including a debit card if they see charges that are not normally there charges that are out of state. They’ll lock that credit card down and call us until they see that we’ve approved those .

[@StorySpins-t2e]

[@DuckOfRubber]

If your spending habits are such that six figures (or even “only” 5 figures if some of the comments are correct) in travel spending during a single bill cycle doesn’t even trigger a verification call from your bank, while I understand the being mad, trying to give your family members a criminal record is kind of an ah move even if legally you are in the right. Be mad if you want but suck it up, take one less vacation yourself this month, and tell your sister to have a good time, then cut them off if you’re worried about it happening again. If you never made an emergency fund, that’s really on you at this point, but if things get desperate I’m sure you own something you can be used as collateral.
