I am beyond annoyed today. I'm currently visiting my mother, whom I love, and staying in her half million dollar home (in a LCOL area, small midwestern town). She's had financial problems for years, despite her assurances that it's improving and she's digging out. She was telling me yesterday how much less she's spending and doing better (examples were no longer spending $200/mo on her nails and $240/mo on her nails) and honestly she's made some progress (not enough).
Today I wake up to construction sounds and call her, she's tells me the in ground sprinkler sare being fixed. Ok. I workout and go to take a shower...no water. I go out and ask the workmen if they shut it off and they say no the city was out and turned off theirs and another neighbor's (seriously in a neighborhood of very pricey homes).
I call her.... yeah she didn't pay the bill.
Thank God I take after my dad when it comes to money.
