She texted asking for money again

Tweet

My downstairs neighbor is a real piece of work. I like her but she has gotten too used to me being kind/generous and paying her to care for my cats when I'm not around. I mean each day it takes like 10-15 minutes to fill the food and water bowls, scoop the litter boxes, and maybe clean up cat puke. She texted me today asking me to pay her for the 2.5 weeks of cat-sitting when I get my summer savings tomorrow. She also asked if I wanted her to clean my apartment (obviously for more $$). She said she hated to ask but she didn't have anyone left to loan her money. I thought that was interesting. I know her sister is always sending her money when she is in a bind. . . which is pretty much every month. I honestly don't know who else she could or would ask. She is very close with her sister so I don't know if there is a fight going on or what. I received the retro pay for duty coverages this past year so I sent her $200. That is it. That is all she is getting. I haven't been around so the apartment should still be pretty clean. At this point I'll clean it myself just out of pure stubbornness. She loves to say that I make "good money". I suppose I do but I am NOT going to start giving it to her. She can have her son chip in on the rent and car insurance. She can get an under the table job somewhere. She can stop buying her son the newest electronics. It is up to her to figure it out rather than relying on others.
