Of course, if it gets really out of hand, maybe you could say something along the lines of how well they must be doing since you see she just bought a new such-and-such. That way, you're not saying anything directly to her about her "copying" you, but you definitely send the message that you're aware of it.
It really sucks that her husband does nothing though - that's probably why she's treating herself even though they can't afford it.

Thanks for your input. I think I'll keep it to myself for a while. She's my husband's only sibling and I dont want things to be tense between them or me.
I would like for her to just stop compteting or copying me simply because she cant afford it, and I mean that in the nicest way. It even affects us because her mom, my mother in law,and her share accounts like credit cards and the auto loan and when my mother-in law (and my sister-in-law) cant make a payment, of course my hubby has to fit the bill.
And i totally agree she does treat herself cuz no one else can do it for her.
