Sister should pay her share of expenses

DEAR HARRIETTE: My younger sister and I are planning on taking a vacation together, and she expects me to pay for her portion of the trip. She is 22 years old, and I am 30. While I want to spend quality time with her and make this trip memorable, I feel it’s unfair for me to bear the entire financial burden. My sister is currently working part-time and still in college, while I have a stable job and a steady income. However, I believe she should contribute to the expenses in some way, even if it’s a smaller portion.

It hurts that she couldn’t even remember when my birthday is, especially since we have been friends for six years and both live in Washington, D.C. We have shared so many important moments together, and I thought our friendship was strong and meaningful to both of us. Her forgetting my birthday has made me question how much she values our friendship.

Democrats will try and tout the polls

It has now been more than two weeks since President Joe Biden dropped out of the race and Vice President Kamala Harris became the Democratic nominee. It’s always hard to get a quick handle on public reaction to a huge event like that, but after a couple of weeks, the news has had time to sink in with voters, and it’s time to start looking at some new polling.
