What did they even flag it for? I got a week ban last year for posting a picture of my neighbor's gnome with the caption "local HOA spy"... it's like they have no sense of humor at all.

Ugh, yes. I always tell them "natural" doesn't mean "safe for everyone." I keep a list of common irritants like essential oils to check first.

My cousin tried the no-budget life for a year and ended up with a maxed-out credit card from too many "feel like it" Target trips. I tried to wing it with groceries once and spent like $200 on fancy cheese and crackers alone, which is a hilarious way to blow a week's food money. Having a rough plan for my cash means I can actually afford to fix my car when it makes that weird noise. Your neighbor's approach sounds like a fast track to eating ramen for a month straight.
