You should probably tell your sister it would mean a lot to you to have a better relationship with her, that she should call you more often and really communicate.
My sister said that to me and now I call her more. We got closer.
Of course it can’t be just about money. There’s something deeper going on there.

It's a good idea to tell siblings how we feel.
My brother and I had a talk about how we would like to be closer (emotionally speaking, we see each other often enough as we live close by). So we periodically try more. Then it dwindles again. My therapist says it's what it is and is common. We are there in time of need and that's probably what counts the most. I agree. Although we both would like more closeness, but it's just how it is. As about money, my brother makes three times more than me (just his choice of career) but I'd never think it has any kind of meaning or makes a difference. We both are terrible with money and are big spenders and aren't good about saving, so it's no matter who has more.
