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 :)

12/1 Expressions
I can't believe it is December already. Believe me, I am ready for it. Anyway, the dog got groomed with a discounted Petsmart Gift Card. I sold another book on half.com I am waiting for my auctions to end on ebay tomorrow and my item on listia. I also hope to list a few more items too. We shall see, but I am hoping to get this house declutters and in shape to sell by the summer of 2014. That seems a long ways away, but in reality, it would probably take that long to get everything in order. Part way through this month, we will have 2 vacancies. I am hoping they both get filled quickly. The attorney filing the BP claim keeps sending me e-mails that he is going to call me shortly - uh, stop e-mailing me that you are going to call - and just e-mail me what you want to tell me. Is that so hard? I have been playing with the Rule 72T distribution calculator here: http://www.bankrate.com/calculators/retirement/72-t-distribution-calculator.aspx Why? Once the house is sold, I am thinking of taking a "deferred" retirement. So, I can start drawing down my 401K equivalent until I hit my minimum retirement age.
