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 :)

5/10 Expressions
Frugal deeds for the week: The rain is not cooperating - but the hedge trimming, house trimming work is suppose to start today. Since the work is being done/managed by a tenant in another house, my husband was will to pay a higher price - based on his reputation. However, the other bidder offered to paint the front door - and this one didn't - so, my husband is going to ask if he can throw that in. I am "off" from my day job today - so, I have an appointment at the beauty school to get my hair cut - $15 plus tip - and a free manicure since I booked in advance. Not too shabby for a pre-mother's day pampering. So, since we are probably moving - instead of eating out, I asked if we could just get some work done around the house - and have breakfast in bed :) This weekend, I will work on getting "stuff" together for the community yard sale next week and go from there. Lots of stuff to do. I have already started submitting change of address forms - those freebie postage stamps I get from being a "mail decoy" sure come in handy.
