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 :)

3/8 Expressions
Frugal deeds for the day: Today - for a birthday gift to myself - I used my Groupon for the 4 hour deep cleaning - and I love coming home to a clean house :) In the mail: I got a coupon for a free Coke product - also 2 freebie magazines. Finally figured out how to do billpay - so, now I can pay 3 bills and get my Kindle Fire HD. I stopped at Aldi during lunch and for under $5 - I got a dozen eggs, 5lb bag of red potatoes, 2 lbs of bananas, and 2 or 3 lb bag of tangerines. I also picked up my 2 plush bath towels from JCP - total out of pocket for the 2, $4 - and they are great for yoga :) And, I stopped by my credit union to make a deposit - and get a nice cup of coffee. And while I should go to yoga tonight - I am going to relax and take in this clean house and read a magazine - and cook dinner and maybe some banana muffins (w/defrosted ripe bananas). Tomorrow, my husband and I are going to ACE Hardware to get a free quart of paint - white - and I have decided to paint my cabinets white - and clean up the brass hardware - and be done with it. I want to be ready to sell this house when the time is right without fretting about "things that need to be done before selling".
