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 :)

1/1 Expressions
Frugal deeds for the day: I went to a hot yoga class - we are having a 30 day challenge - shoot for 20 classes in 30 days. 1 down, 19 or more to go :) I also decluttered clothes from my closet. I have one paperbag full of clothes ready for the next charitable organization that calls for a pick-up. I also found 2 items to take to the consignment store. I also found 2 bags of trash - mostly newspapers and other paper no longer needed. I am really happy a "fiscal cliff deal was made" - oh wait, the House has not voted :( I was going to order my contacts on line - but my most current prescription listed is not correct. So, my daughter and husband will go the retail store and place an order for both of us. Oh well, I could have gotten 500 mypoints had I placed the order on-line. And of course, as soon as I get the receipt, I will be filing a claim with my health savers account. Earthfare sent out another nice coupon 5 items for $5 - hopefully, my husband and daughter can stop by and get those tomorrow also. And, I hope they take the Home Depot/Lowes gift cards to pick up items needed for our DIY laminate flooring installation in the bonus room/hallway on the second floor. I will be at my day job - but hopefully, we can enjoy lunch together at home :)
