How totally unkind of you. Hopefully, when and if you are old, you will be cut off immediately by everyone. I simply cannot understand your attitude and I sincerely hope that I never will understand such. Only a truly selfish person could adopt this attitude. Glad you're not my neighbor.

My father and my stepfather both always left at least a $50 bill on the kitchen table in case someone broke in. Then the drug addict or other loser would just take the money and run. My mother, a shop o holic would often put the money in her pocketbook, and once she pulled that prank, the house was broken into. My stepfather was lucky enough to get home for lunch AFTER the burglar left, The house was ransacked and a butcher knife was left on the counter. Very scary. Then they got a security system and my stepfather did not leave money on the table for my goofy mother to steal anymore.

My father in law told me to keep extra cash in the house because of emergencies when my son was just a couple of months old. For a cab in case something happened that I couldn't drive my child to the doctor, etc. So I did. Never had to use it, but out of habit I still do. Sometimes if I'm going out and want to pay cash instead of the card, I dip in it. Not a lot. Usually around $100.00 or less. My husband does the same. I'd rather keep it in the house somewhere safe then carry it on me.

I'm the OP, you can read my story with my elderly neighbor in the first post. My 91 year old mother lives with me, I take care of her. Well my neighbor calls about 2:30, my mother answers, she would like me to drive her to the bank to take out money, she has no money ( she is crying to my mother on the phone). I remind them both today is Sunday the banks are closed. She then asks my mother to borrow $30, she needs it for cab fare to visit her son in rehab ( he had a stroke). Now her son-in-law came to see her yesterday ( he and her daughter live in New Jersey, she actually was crying to my mother her daughter doesn't live close by), why didn't she realize she didn't have money and ask him to take her to the bank? I have my hands full with my own mother,I can't be responsible for my neighbor. If she asks for money again, I will make a phone call to her daughter, she needs to take on more responsibility for her.
