re: Trick or Treaters coming from other neighborhoods

So we'll see you on the money board looking for advice on how to finance college soon?

The thing that irks me about neighborhood largesse (Halloween, Christmas parties, etc.) is like being on an airplane. If there is a depressurization, you put your mask on first, then help others around you.

There is a constant cycle of OT'ers that complain about money, but continue to blow money on other people, and not saving in a 529, but going to 30A, buying $300 worth of candy for randos. My ex FIL didn't have shoes for years as a kid. I'm clearly a product of a depression era family, which is an over correction, but damn. You people are nuts.
