So, for backstory me 21M and my brother 22M have been paying our family a monthly sum of $250 EACH to help with bills as both of our parents work minimum wage jobs and after bills and taxes, we do not have much money left to be spending on other items.

My sister 11F is the youngest and she is spoiled constantly with everything that she wants when she wants it. My parents even got another credit card just to help pay for the crazy amount of things she wants. About 2 months ago my parents had to not eat food for 2 days to be able to pay for my sisters next big purchase, if you were guessing it was an apple product you are correct.

My sister is one of them people where if someone has something good she has to have something better, my sister had the iPhone 11 but then her friend upgraded to the 13 so she just had to get the 14 the next day.

Recently, me and my brother had a huge fight with our parents which ended up with us getting kicked out.

About a week ago, my family and I were sat down for dinner when my dad started talking about their debt from buying my sister all her new stuff. It turns out they recently got their credit card statement and they are in $1500 credit card debt across 2 credit cards. They had the audacity to tell me and my brother to help pay off the debt and we needed to “step up” and pay for things around here. We both began to argue with them as it was not our fault they gave our entitled sister everything and did not give us anything. I think I forgot to mention that I have not asked my parents for anything for about a year now and neither has my brother.

Well anyway, I think you can already guess that me and my brother obviously refused and within the next 24 hours we were given an ultimatum to move out or else all our stuff would be sold. Me and my brother were glad and we decided to crash with friends for the next few days until we get our next pay check and can afford an apartment.

Before we left, we blocked our parents on everything and we have been receiving numerous text messages from relatives telling us we are being selfish and need to apologise to our parents so I’m guessing they told everyone a crazy lie making them seem like the victims.

Last night, I remembered that me and my brothers $250 would be sent to them the next morning so we quickly cancelled it and texted them about it then blocked them again.

This morning, we were told by our grandmother that the bank was gonna probably end up repossessing their house as our $500 was paying over 50% of their mortgage.

I’ve been thinking about it all day and feel quite guilty so I’ve come on here to ask.

AITA?

Edit: We paid $250 each which was a total of $500 a month, don’t think I made it clear enough previously.
