    That sounds awful of the neighbour.

    Glad the cats are still bringing lots of joy.

    No point in speaking to him. He is a law into himself & listens to no one. So stressful.

    I remember a similar situation with an old neighbour. It is indeed stressful
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

    Emergency fund 100/1000
    Buffer fund 0/100
