Maybe she forgot? Have you seen or talked to her yesterday? Possibly she will give you some today. Keep your chin up!

In my opinion you are "expecting" something for NOTHING. Why do all you kids today "expect" things to be handed to you? It's not like she "owes" you a damn thing, and comparing what she gives anyone else is really none of your business.
Perhaps you didn't say thank you for the last gift she gave you. What have you done for her on her birthday? Have you even sent one card to her for a holiday? I would have to say NO, and then think to yourself why not!!
See kids today want everything on a silver platter, but then give nothing back in return! Why is that??
What she does with her money, whether it be lottery tickets or saves for her retirement is quite frankly none of your concern, she earned the right to do what she wants with her money, and it's none of your business how she spends her money. She does not owe you anything, but you owe her the respect because she's your elder, and she is your aunt. You may not like the way things are, but that's just the way things are. I'm sure your mother will say the same thing. How would you like it if your aunts children told your mom how to spend her money, hmmm different story then, i would say not.
Grow up and be an adult about things. As the story used to go, don't count your chickens before they're hatched. Another words, don't look for something that you don't expect to be given, This way, you can't get excited over something that never was, that's the whole point over the true meaning of a "GIFT" !!!

I can see that you're hurt over this, but maybe you're taking it the wrong way.
First of all, maybe you 're older now, and she doesn't think it's necessary for that. Maybe she thinks you have no use for just 25 bucks now that you're older.
Also, just because somebody does something time after time, we can't take it for granted and expect it to happen every single time. Instead of being upset for not receiving the money this year, maybe you should feel happy and grateful for all the times you did receive it in the past.
The truth is you don't know her financial situation, even though you think you might. You don't know what her reason may be , but in the end, it doesnt' matter. As long as she treats you well, and loves you, it shouldn't matter that she didn't give you money this year.

Im not trying to preach here but whats the likelyness your aunt got caught up here on yahoo answers and just simply forgot, now she is sitting here and reading this and is hurt by your rude remarks. maybe just maybe she is the person who answerd before me or after me who's to say. Who's to know. Hunny every action has a consiquence I just hope that your aunt hasnt seen this yet. Have you ever thought to send her a thank you card or did you just assume you were entitled to this so called birthday money.

Do you ever thank her for the money? She may have stopped because she felt you didn't appreciate it. From the attitude of your question, it sounds like you don't. You just expect your $25 that you feel you have coming to you. It's a gift, not a right.

Yep, your attitude towards her. YOUR MOTHERS SISTER? That makes her your AUNT. So how about addressing her as such instead of my mothers sister. And you DON'T speak very highly of her. CHEAP skate, you sound like your feelings have been hurt. BUT WHAT makes you think she owes you anything? I think you should speak more nicely of her in the future and address her as Aunty or Aunty, and NOT be so concerned about what you will or won't get for a birthday gift. It is very possible that she forgot.

Does she think you're old enough to stop receiving gifts? If she's as tight as you say, that could be her reasoning or excuse to stop giving you BD $.
As the saying goes "Nothing lasts forever."

I agree with most of the answers posted, she may more on her plate than you know. Just be thankful your alive another day and move on. It's her money and she can do whatever she likes with it.

And, you're critical because she didn't give you money? How would you feel if she gave you a shirt instead of money?
