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 :)

9/21 Expressions
Frugal deeds for the day: My husband had a code for a free Papa Johns Pizza - and we redeemed a loyalty card at the take'n bake place for a free pizza. So, we had one for the carnivores and one for the vegetarian. I also went to Homegoods pre-grand-opening this afternoon. I wanted a new comforter set for the rental condo - I found a designer one - supposedly the retail is $500 - and store price was $99 plus tax. I will have enough points on my TJX card this month for a $10 GC - the deal this month was use the card 5 times and get 500 points - and $99 plus tax is another 500 points :) Tomorrow, my daughter and I are going to the name brand hair care products beauty school to get our hair cut and colored :) My husband said he may have a boarder in the future in our foreclosure house. His co-worker's wife retired and wants to move closer to her children/grandchildren. So co-worker will be in a commuter situation and wants to rent. Of course they have their house up for sale - and it is over-sized - hoping it sells soon :)
