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 :)

9/3 Expressions
Frugal deeds for the day: My husband made a run to the farmer's market and got the last of our goat cheese from the 1/2 priced card - 3 tubs. He also purchased some peaches and a few tomatoes. He and my daughter just left to take a box of her clothes to the consignment store and they will stop at Publix to buy the BOGO figs on the way back. I have the seafood gumbo going. My husband and daughter will eat dinner out tonight tonight - one of our favorite restaurants sent us a $25 off gift certificate which expires today - no strings or cost attached. I am a bit under the weather - so, will be enjoying my seafood gumbo at home. I made a reservation for them though opentable.com (free to sign-up - and I think once you earn 2,000 points, you get a $20 giftcertificate to use at any of the restaurants?) - anyway, we will get 1,000 for this reservation because they are going early. Otherwise, you get a minimum of 100 points. Not too shabby.
