Sister should pay her share of vacation 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.
