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 :)

2/9 Expressions
Frugal deeds for the day: Today my husband and I ate lunch at Brueggers with a BOGO coupon and a gift card. And, we each got our free 3 bagels today. Dinner was the free pizza from Papa Johns and a 2ltr Rootbeer. Good news, my husband called the tax assessor's office in the county where our foreclosure house was purchased - no taxes are due until July since the first half was paid at closing last year :) And we are hoping that the second installment in July is reduced substantially based on our tax protest. In addition, seems we over paid the condo rental management office -and they are sending a refund check. Sadly, the current renter called in the dryer - and it needed work to the tune of $200 - so, it will pretty much be a wash. But it will be a nice refund anyway :) So, instead of having to pay-out more $ in bills this month - we are pleasantly surprised to find out we don't have the big bill we expected. So, hopefully, we will send more $ to savings :) I also received a batch of seeds from my listia winnings. Don't forget - if you need laundry detergent that cleans well and is economically priced - enter my giveaway! Thank-you!
