" My neighbor is always asking me what I paid for things -- my landscaping, my son&amp;#039;s tuition, even the clothes on my back. Is there a way to stop her without sounding rude? If you don&amp;#039;t want to answer personal questions, you don&amp;#039;t have to. There are a few ways you can handle such nosiness. One is to respond with humor, another with a nonanswer. You could say, &amp;quot;I paid more than I should have,&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;School is expensive these days, but it&amp;#039;s worth every penny to see how well my son is doing.&amp;quot; Another approach is to be vague, mentioning nicely but firmly that you don&amp;#039;t want to think about the price. And a third way is to be direct and say as diplomatically as possible that you don&amp;#039;t talk about money. Then change the subject. It&amp;#039;s unlikely she&amp;#039;ll interrogate you again.
