📝 AITAH for not sending money to my little sister?

I'm a 20-year-old female and currently a junior in college, juggling up to three jobs. My sister, who’s also 20 and pregnant with her first child, has a car, a job, and a boyfriend who buys her anything she wants. At first, she only asked for small amounts like $5-$10, but now that she's pregnant, it’s more like $20-$40+. I get it, but I'm a struggling college student without a car or an apartment, trying to pay for my education at a private college while saving money and building my credit. Lately, it feels like everything is about her, regardless of what I’m going through. When I ask for a little help, like $5-$10, she gets an attitude and acts mad. I try to ignore it because I don’t want to upset her since she’s pregnant, but she keeps asking for money almost every week. I know she’s my little sister (we're just 9 months apart), but I can’t keep giving her money when I'm struggling too. I’m someone who would sacrifice everything to make someone happy, but I just can’t do it anymore because I want to get my life together. She has a good boyfriend, so I don’t understand why she keeps asking me for money when she has a job, a car, and a place to stay. If I'm in the wrong, I get it, but I can’t keep handing out money that I need for myself right now.
