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 :)

9/29 Expressions
Frugal deed for the day: Did I mention I found another rebate form yesterday - this one was get $5 back when you spend $50 on groceries. So, it was a double play for me yesterday at Publix. I used my $6 off $60 from Kroger, plus other coupons, and mailed in for a $5 rebate on top of that. Today, I got a $5 prepaid Visa from Proctor & Gamble for the rebate I submitted approximately a month ago. I also found some elastic in one of my sewing bins and now, my favorite velour sweat pants - no tears - just bad elastic - are as good as new. Got another property tax bill for another rental. Due now, considered late after the last day of the year - so, we pay them all at the end of December. My husband called the tax assessor for our foreclosure property - they still have not made a determination as to what the final valuation will be. Too bad they don't pay interest :( I just called and paid the balance of our insurance (auto/property) on my new AMEX card - have til almost the end of the year to earn the $500. My husband is working on earning $400 on his Visa card.
