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 :)

2/11 Expressions
Frugal deeds for the day: I finished knitting another pair of house slippers during lunch - just need to crochet them together. I also rolled $12.50 in coins to deposit. I called the bank offering gifts with their CDs. So far, it sounds pretty good. The lady on the line said the 9 month CDs yield 1% and the 18 month CD yield 1.1% - plus the gift . . . but you have to pay taxes on the value of the gift and they will tell you the value upon selection while you are at the bank. Had some more work done on my teeth today - I really the job they did and it cost $27 out of pocket to be reimbursed from the HSA account. Not fee, but pretty good :)
