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 :)

7/13 Expressions
Frugal deeds for the day: We received a nice rent check from our condo. June and July are usually big months - high rates and high occupancy. Anyway - every bit of it will go toward the HELOC portion of the new foreclosure. The airconditioner was not cooling in the Foreclosure - it was $300 to get it running properly and cooling. The mattress and frames were delivered; as were the stove and fridge. Unfortunately, they did not have the washer and dryer in stock - so, they will be delivered next week. They also forgot the ice maker. So, the foreclosure is coming right along. Today, I earned enough swagbucks to redeem for a $5 Amazon.com gift card :) In addition, while there - I noticed I could get 180 more swagbucks if I ordered a groupon - so, I got a $20 gift certificate for a bakery for $10 - my daughter's birthday is coming up - I think it may come in handy.
