I have a VERY feminist sister. The "I don't need no man, etc" type.

When my mother passed, we inherited a joint trust that was to be split between us and 2 smaller trusts that were just for us. We sold off some of my moms property, and split the funds between us. The joint account is staying as is, because we just don't want to mess with it.

I took my part of the money I got from the sale of some property, and started trading it on the stock market over the last few years. I have now made considerably more than I will ever need so I am retiring at the age of 51 at the end of the year.

My sister and I went out to dinner last night at our usual place. Shes a school teacher, and was talking about how she was burned out, and wanted to retire and just travel. I told her that her part of the money in the joint account is not going to be enough for her to do that. I then told her that I had taken my portion of the money we got from selling property and made enough on the stock market to retire.

This did not go over well. She asked me to put the money in the joint account, so we can both retire, and I refused. I told her that I put in the work, and it was going to my retirement. I told her if she wants to retire, she should take the money she got from the sale, and do what I did. She said she spent all of her money traveling, so she doesn't have the vast majority of it anymore. I told her she made her decisions, and its not my responsibility to dig her out.

She walked out when I told her that expecting a man to pay for her retirement was not very feminist, and she should go out and make her own money.

This was 2 weeks ago, I haven't heard a word since.
