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 :)

5/5 Expressions
Frugal deeds for the day: All of our hotel points have posted and we will have nice hotel accomodations for our trip to Paris - at no additional costs out of our pockets. We are hoping we get some free food priveleges too :) Nothing exciting in the mail today. But I did win a nice pair of earring on Listia :) Our neighborhood yardsale is this Saturday. I have asked my husband and daughter to try and sell enough to cover a meal out on Mother's Day. And as for the best gift ever, I have asked if they could get us caught up on laundry - to include folding and putting clothes away. Oh, and I checked the fig tree out - one of the figs has over-ripened and fell to the ground. One fig was ripe - so, I ate it. I offered my daughter 1/2 - but she declined. It was good. Pretty good to get even 1 piece of fruit from a tree that was transplanted a couple of months ago :) I also picked up some Manager's Specials today in the organic department - and I had coupons to make them an even better bargain!
