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 :)

9/28 Expressions
Frugal deeds for the day: Lots of coupons and rebate forms galore on the web today. I printed out a coupon for $5 off the Brita Water Filter Pitcher and a rebate for up to $10. That is what couponers/rebaters call a money making deal. Plus, since we have a filter on our fridge water dispenser - we won't need it. So, I am donating it to my daughter for her yardsale this weekend. I am so proud of her, she told her class-mate she will have to pass on going to the movies this weekend because she is getting ready for her yard sale. Also on-line today, I printed a coupon for a free after rebate ream of printer paper from Staples. And finally, I usually don't buy "wipes" - unless they are free - but there is a rebate form for the full price back on Lysol wipes plus I have a .50 coupon that will double at Publix - so, another money maker :) Okay, none of them will make me rich - but rebates are getting few and far between - so, finding 3 in one day is pretty exciting for me! The only other thing I am going to do is use my savemore.com certificate - I think I paid $7 (I had credit) for a $60 wall decal. I am going to put one in the bathroom. Now that we probably won't sell our house this summer, I am going to take my time in updating.
