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 :)

8/8 Expressions
Wow - is all I can say about the stock market. It made me S-I-C-K - literally. I developed an awful headache - I am sure looking at the ending numbers did not help. Mail today was awfully boring. I gave myself a french manicure at lunch and cleaned out my coupon envelope. Tomorrow, I plan to cut some coupons and cull them. I am going to make a list and do a better job at using them. I have decided to buy non-perishables at a good price and send them "home" with my husband - since he will use coupons now if handed to him - but doesn't actively look for them. Added: Mail was not boring, I got a $10 Panera Gift Card from Mypoints. Great for my geographical bachelor to have a treat or two. Also, while cleaning out the coupon envelope in my purse, I found a dime - the last one I needed to make a $5 roll of dimes to deposit the next time I go to the bank.
