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 :)

6/3 Expressions
Frugal deeds for the day: DSW is great :) They did credit back the $20 plus taxes on my husband's sneakers for the coupon we received a day after his purchase. My daughter got a pack of socks with $5 birthday coupon - plus a few dollars out of her pocket. For dinner, we used an 80% off Restaurant.Com gift certificate - and have leftovers for today. Mailbag: Free Gillette Proglide Razor and a birthday certificate for a free Aveda product. Oh, yesterday, my daughter made an appointment for herself and I to get a free style and blow-out at the ULTA salon - using Fekkai products. It is for new salon customers only and on 8 and 9 July only. I hit the hay early - and now I am up too early - it is really 6/4. But today's agenda - take in an estate sale - all prices are marked down 50% from Thursday on anything left. I am looking for outdoor/lawn furniture to replace some of the stuff in our condo - mainly the chairs seem to not be holding up well in the elements. Since it is in the same area as Plato's closet - my daughter plans to drop a few things off. Then we plan to see the new exhibit at the Art Museum with our membership. They have a nice and fairly inexpensive Italian theme cafe - we will probably eat there for lunch.
