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 :)

11/5 Expressions
Sometimes you don't fully appreciate something until it goes missing. Pictured above is breakfast I cook today. I am in post repair/renovation clean-up mode - although clean-up has not really started yet. I wanted to do some grocery maintenance - and since I had a bit of olive oil, boiled red potatoes, 1/2 a red onion in the fridge and a bunch of eggs, that was breakfast. Just before typing this post - I got an automated call from Chase Freedom - my card number had been compromised. Someone charged $29.99 at "friendfinders" . . . so, that charge will be removed, my account closed - and a new card will be sent to me. My crockpotted chicken leg quarters are cooling in fridge - and then I will remove the fat. Then I plan to make a soup in the crockpot. Before baking the pumpkin in the oven to make puree and roasted pumpkin seeds, I am going to look for something else to bake to utilize as much heat as possible. Also, it is cold this morning, the heat will be much appreciated by all :) I place an orde at Office Max that was $0 out of pocket after rewards. My husband is in Office Max at his location now to buy a printer. He waitied quite a while to get one - he bought an ink efficient one today.
