Bossy sisters

Question: Listener is being asked to pay $1,000 for his share of his parents' 50th anniversary, but he wasn't asked about the party or have any say in it. How can he be fair about approaching this? Dave explains what fair means in this situation.

Dave Ramsey's advice: The eldest kid taking charge and not asking anyone else?! Come on, that's every family! It would be fair if you didn't pay anything because you didn't ask. You have zero commitment to the out of control older freak sisters. It's not that you don't love your parents. Call the sisters and tell them that they didn't ask. Tell them you are trying to get out of debt and chip in what you think is reasonable. I agree with you here.
