We are a family of three in transition. We spent years being frugal and are now at a crossroad. We'd like to retire from our day jobs in two years or less. Our retirement goals are to provide our daughter with the best education she desires; travel; and find new careers - perhaps part-time that we really enjoy. I hope to post both "frugal" and "personal finance" information. NOTE: I am not a professional on either subject. My posts are purely entertainment :)

5/15 Expressions
Frugal deeds for the day: Received my luggage set for trip to Paris. Purchased a heavily discounted set - mainly looked for wheels that are in an "in-set" - or something like that. So far, every piece of luggage with wheels totally on the outside of the luggage set have always lost one wheel. I even tried to file a claim with the airline company once because I had two pieces of luggage and each had a wheel broken off. So, wheels are important to me. I got them on Amazon.com - mainly because I had Amazon giftcard earned on swagbucks.com. Okay - I "won" a magazine subscription on Listia.com for my daughter - not too many credits. But, I noticed the code was from Recyclebank.com. Went there - and in about 30 minutes or less - had enough points to order another subscription - that I wanted. So, we have plenty of free magazines. Then my daughter reminded me that I ordered a magazine subscription through mycokerewards.com back in November - sure enough - I received a code - but did not redeem it. Just did it a few moments ago. I am hoping we get a few magazines to take with on our vacation too. I am hoping to come up with a simple craft I can do on the plane ride. Oh, and yesterday, I got a small check from ebates. Small or large - added together, it can make for a nice time in France :)
