Well when you loan money its always a chance that you wont get it back and also she's your sister so don't hold a grudge but you should try talking to her and tell her that she can pay in small payments maybe (something is better than nothing) GOOD LUCK!

For sure tell your parents. It might, or might not help. But at least it will help alleviate the anger that is within you.
Not only did she take your money, but she is also taking away your peace of mind. You are in an angry state of mind every time you think about it. Don't let her rob you of that too.
Truth to tell, she did you a favor in way. She taught you a great lesson in life in general. I know it does not seem that way to you now as you are too angry. But when something like this comes up again with another family member, or best friend when they ask you to lend them money you will know how to handle it better.
Experience is the best teacher. A person learns by their mistakes, and is much wiser from them.
I have a gut feeling that once you tell your parents, you will get your money back. Depending on her financial assets at the moment you will either get it back in one bulk sum, or several payments.
Good luck.
P.S. I am sorry to read that this matter is causing a rift between your sister and you. I do hope the matter is solved amicably so that you, and her may have a great relationship in the future. It is important to have good family relationships.

There's two ways to play this. Firstly do the adult thing, Tell her that you want your money back ASAP. Tell your parents or another member of the family the situation and say you've asked for your money back. Tell her that she can pay it back in bits if she wants to, but all the same you want it back. If she says no, i'm not paying, or i havent got any money, then just go to her room or her house and take something worth $500. Leave her a note or tell her that you are taking whatever it is as collateral until the money is fully paid back. But before you do the second option tell a member of family what you are going to do, and give the item to them for safe keeping. Also then you cannot get arrested for theft as you have not taken the item, its in safe keeping until she has repaid the full amount. But be careful, because some countries/ states have some strange laws about peoples property.
I hope this helps. I think its awful that she hasnt paid it back when she said so. The other thing to remember is in some states a verbal contract is binding! If you are in the right part of the world, you could take her to court if she doesnt give you the money back! lol

Seeing you were going to buy an x-box 360 with your money, what does it matter that your sister bought a cell phone with it. Both of you are wasting the money anyway, these things are just toys anyway, and in a few years they will be changed for other toys. Why don't you put your money into a savings account and save to go to college to learn how people get along in this world. I do not feel sorry for you.

Two years is long enough to wait. Let your parents know. Then see what can be done. She may get mad but she sure isn't being responsible or fair to you, and stop doing her any favors. Never lend her any money any more either. Good luck.

It is too bad that you have learned a lesson about loaning money very early in life. How disappointing it must be to have your sister treat you this way. Don't do any favors for her loan her anything until she pays you back. If your Mother or Father asks why you are treating her that way, tell them exactly what happened.

consider this a lesson learned.
Each and every time you sister asks for anything say this "talk to me once you pay me back the $535 you owe me".
Don't yell, don't fight.
You learned a very painful and expensive lesson. Never lend anyone money - especially family.

If somebody told me they wanted to pay $535 for a cell phone I would know there was something wrong in their head and I wouldn't loan them 1 Cent.
