Tread Lightly, Retire Early

Friday’s Frugal Five (Roe v Wade is Dead)

Added note: I finished writing this post on Thursday but woke up to the news that Roe v Wade is no longer. I don’t yet have any words, but my partner Regina does - go check out her Twitter thread. Her words are my words today. And now the rest of this post feels silly…

Friday’s Frugal Five (COVID-19 Week 120)

Once again, I skipped my Frugal Five last week, this time because I was on a red eye flight to North Carolina to fiiiiiiiiiinally see Erin and Young FIRE Knight get married. They originally had set the date for summer 2020, so you can probably guess how that went. It was a whirlwind trip, landing…

Friday’s Frugal Five (COVID-19 Week 118)

Around here, “June Gloom” is a phrase we’re all used to - wet and gray weather through the 4th of July when summer officially starts in the Pacific Northwest. Usually, though, June Gloom feels acute because we’ve had some nice days in April and May (along with plenty of rain). This year, however, we basically…

Absolutely nothing good to say

Well, since I skipped last week’s post, I figured it I shouldn’t skip a second week in a row (that whole lose the routine and then don’t blog for two years thing). This week though……. This week is rough. I’ve spent a lot of time crying and hugging my seven year old. I cannot fathom…

Friday’s Frugal Five (COVID-19 Week 115)

I’m down in Phoenix for the inaugural Women’s Personal Finance Long Weekend, so I’m going to keep this short. Yes, I realize I could have just skipped writing today, but since I skipped last week, I wanted to put down at least a few words today. For those of you who aren’t bloggers, it’s a…

Friday’s Frugal Five (COVID-19 Week 113)

For anyone who noticed, yes, I skipped my regular Frugal Five last week. After returning from our Italy trip, we had one "normal" week home as we readjusted to our jet lag and caught up on normal life. That following Thursday, my husband started to get sick, and by Sunday, the rest of us were.…

Friday’s Frugal Five (COVID-19 Week 111)

It's been a week now since we returned from Italy, and the grief that gripped me has lessened a bit. As my husband noted, I've never been so heartbroken to return home from a trip before. It was our first big trip (first plane flight) since Covid began, the first time to see our dear…

Two Weeks in Italy (Abruzzo, Amalfi, Pompeii, and Rome)

We spent the last two weeks in Italy with our very dear friends (who used to be our neighbors). We went down to visit them in Austin, Texas in November 2019, where they were living at the time, and then in December 2019 up here for just a weekend. We made plans to meet up…

Friday’s Frugal Five (COVID-19 Week 108)

Happy official beginning of spring! It’s starting to warm up around here (the last of the frosts should be behind us now), and we’re seeing more sunshine. I’ve been out in the garden more as it’s time for planting and the perennials and overwintered crops are starting to emerge in earnest. The world might be…

Friday’s Frugal Five (COVID-19 Week 107)

Today is Regina’s birthday! Happy happy birthday to one of my very favorite people on the planet. We have maybe only met each other in person four times, but that doesn't matter. Something I've learned over my five years of blogging is that it doesn't take in person time to grow some really wonderful friendships.…
