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 :)

8/31 Expressions
We traded in the car today for a new vehicle - Honda Element EX - during the Honda clearance sale. The insurance is less. The gas mileage is better. On the Honda Element website - there is a rebate for a $200 Petsmart Giftcard for the purchase of the vehicle. We traded in a car and paid cash (check) for the rest. We found 1 used vehicle, 2008 LX and the price difference was about $3000 and the vehicle had just over 40K miles on it. Still waiting for Ken Feinberg to finish reviewing our claim . . . I got my rebate for the Neutrogena Clincals - so that was a great deal. Got my money back, Wal-mart sent me a $15 GC, and I have the product to use - although I am thinking about selling it on Listia. I have a flood of anti-aging products right now - samples, trial full sized products, etc. I am grateful for health and dental insurance as I have had dental and doctor visits recently. I have a long weekend coming - I am "off" Friday through Monday :)
