What do you guys think your husband/wife feels if you are financing you sibling/s education? In the Philippines, you will normally encounter situations like this where we still help our brothers and sisters in their educational expenses even when we are already married. Another question, how will you feel if your spouse is the one financing his/her siblings?

in the Philippines its normal that they still finance the education of their siblings
that in return they expect that their siblings will help them financially in the future.

im from the philippines too. but i am not really expecting my sibling to return the favor to me but to our parents in the future when i would have opted to stop working to focus on my own family. by that time i won't be able to fully support my parents financially so i'm gonna need my sibling's help.

floris, good for you, our cultures are different. because in our country we feel morally obliged to still support our family in a way even when we are already married. Specially when someone has many siblings, or when the parents are already old. And we are most complied to do so when older siblings had helped us also to sustain our education. ^.^
