Sister struggles with finances after $1,500 loan

A reader expresses concern about her sister Rachel's financial habits after loaning her $1,500. Despite promises to repay, Rachel has not mentioned the loan and continues to spend on luxuries, leaving the reader feeling taken advantage of. The advice given suggests distinguishing between support and enabling. The reader is encouraged to remind Rachel of her repayment promise and to set expectations for when the money will be returned. If Rachel remains unresponsive, the reader may need to recognize the lesson that lending money to someone who is not financially responsible can lead to ongoing issues.
