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 :)

7/16 Expressions
Frugal deeds for the day: Yesterday I got a $10 off anything coupon from Kohls. My husband just used it and got a free shower liner - no money out. We need one for the foreclosure house. He also stopped at the farmer's market and picked up 4 more goat cheese tubs with our discounted membership card. We will take two to my daughter's adoptive grandmother who wants to take us to a matinee. She already purchased tickets. She said she wants to take us out for lunch too - but, we are going to let her pay. It is the place next door where upon each of us can get a free appetizer with the movie ticket stub. Lots of leftovers for more meals :) - and a decent price. Also, my husband decided only one wall in the foreclosure needed painting right away. Turns out it is a light brown - so, for now, that wall will be painted with my free can of Glidden's paint - it is "Fawn" - so, it will be an accent wall. Of course, sending my husband to the farmer's market can be dangerous - he decided to buy a small bag of organic peaches - $8 - wowsa - they are good though.
