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 :)

5/4 Expressions
Frugal deeds for the day: I shut off the heating and cooling unit because we were asked not to overload the electrical system. It should save me a some $ too. I planned out my errand trip - Wal-mart's - got my free gum from Murphy's Oil, to the Credit Union to deposit - also included a roll of pennies (.50), then to Kroger - saved 50% with coupons and deals. I spent a bit more than I had planned - but of course - we pretty much had an empty fridge/freezer. I made a call to the Realtor handling our offer on the short sale - and let her know that not being able to get in touch with the "processor" at the bank was unacceptable. I asked her to contact the person's supervisor. She said she'd get on it. We shall see. The weather is sunny, but mild - a nice bonus :)
