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 :)

4/14 Expressions
Frugal deeds for the day: my daughter got a pet sitting job for a week - pocket money for her. I took 3 pieces of clothes to the dry cleaners and used a .30 per piece coupon off the back of receipts I saved from atleast 3 years ago. There's no expiration date on the coupons and they don't print them any more. I took some small checks and $15 in rolled coins to deposit - since they are close to the drycleaners. Whle at the credit union, I got a free cup of coffee - their's tastes so good. Next phase of our summer vacation plan is to find things to do in Vancouver and since air and hotel are covered for rock bottom prices - we have $ to spend on entertainment and activities. This week, we will need to concentrate on passports. I think our local post office does everything - take pictures, has the application form, etc.
