My financially brilliant neighbor.

Here are more stories about her.
S: I really need new spring clothes
Me: You only ever wear your local university stuff
S: But that's because I am only ever going to class and sitting at home
Me: What about that whole new wardrobe you had to buy for your cruise? You haven't worn any of that since your vacation.
S: I need new spring clothes.

It is important to note she complains about never having enough money ALL the time. It us also important to note that in her brain sale=free. So even if it still costs $150, if it was on sale your purchase was totally justified.

S: I bought that same jewelry storage tower you have from ikea.
Me: you always say that you never wear jewelry. Why do you need a storage tower?
S: I bought some jewelry on groupon.
Me: so you need a whole tower to keep it in?
S: I will fill it up eventually.
Me: um, what? The tower cost $200 and you needed it for your one necklace?
S: I will just buy some more jewelry.

She makes my brain hurt.

Mine too. I like her husband a lot (I will have to break out some stories from her wedding planning days). She is also in nursing school which makes me fear for my medical future.

Just find out which hospital she's at and request not to be taken there--you'll be fine.

Sounds like she thinks everything is a competition.

She is one of those people I would have to avoid like the plague.

[housegeek]

Lol! She sounds...fascinating

[margarita]

Oh yeah. She's s-m-r-t.

I know a number of very smart people who are brain dead when it comes to finances.
