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 :)

1/6 Expressions
Frugal deeds for the day: I was just thinking today - if I might have reduced monthly expenses by at least $100 per month? And yes I have. We reduced cellphone plan charges, shortly our landline will become serviced by VOIP, cancelled the Sunday paper, and I cancelled a payroll deduction. We have the Nescafe Dolce Gusto - our indulgence. Wouldn't you know it - they have a rewards program and had I discovered it earlier, I would be close to getting a box of pods for free. Anyway, each pod box code is worth 10 points and you can get a free box after reaching 100. If we are going to indulge, might as well get a free box now and then. My husband and I went to a matinee - "The Impossible" - and used our gift card and coupon for a nacho - nice to get out without additional out of pocket costs for this month.
