money and Esa’s mom???



Going, going, gone (aka saving money for retirement)



So I kind of signed myself up for organizing the community yard sale. We do not have an activities committee and I want to spend as little as possible on advertising plus the more people, the better the turnout. Now, I need to get on it – set a date, start going through stuff and pricing.



I was thinking I should get rid of my Disney VCR tapes that I have – When I worked at Sam Goody, I used to get them at a good price – I also think my sister-in-law (friend only at the time) got me into collecting them too. I've watched them a couple of times, but they just sit there. I also offered my niece all of the Degrassi shows that I taped. I just need to get rid of stuff that's just collecting dust.



Spending, spending, spending (aka not saving money for early retirement)

So last night, Dan decided that we should skip the cruise for our anniversary and do something closer to home/less expensive. He feels we have been spending a lot of money lately (patio (planned), backsplash (planned), A/C (not planned– which I think is what pushed him over the edge on the spending)). The A/C is going to cost $600 to fix. Something we definitely need. Car gas has been killing us – it bothers me every time (which is basically every two weeks) sending in that $200 check - and that is with Dan using the bureau car for half the month.
