Friday’s Frugal Five (Forks Edition)

We went on on an actual vacation! We headed out to the Olympic Coast Thursday morning for a long weekend, which was so needed and so wonderful. The last time we spent a night away from our house was the beginning of October when we went camping in Lynden, which was five months ago. Before…

Friday’s Frugal Five (COVID-19 Week 52)

Well, it’s happened. Week 52. The final week of the first year since COVID-19 descended on my city. Since and before then, it’s spread all over the world, and the United States alone has seen over half a million people die. I tend to be nice about most things, but if you refuse to wear…

Friday’s Frugal Five (Week 51)

This week, we celebrated Ash Wednesday from our computers, just like we celebrated Epiphany, Christmas, Easter, and every other church service over the last year. I am so grateful for my church putting people’s safety first and keeping us fully remote, but it was hard to be remote this week. It was especially hard because…

Friday’s Frugal Five (COVID-19 Week 49)

After a month of counting weeks differently thanks to my birthday, the new year, and the intense weeks we lived through in January, it's time to go back to counting the weeks by COVID, since we are about to hit the one year mark. Going back and reading my first few weeks living with COVID…

Friday’s Frugal Five (Vaccine Sign Up Edition)

This week's post will be short, because I spent entirely too much time helping get folks signed up for their vaccines online and it's time for me to take a break from screens. I'm tired and need a rest, but helping others get vaccinated against COVID-19 is such an important endeavor, so I keep saying…

Friday’s Frugal Five (GameStop Week)

What a wild week in personal finance thanks to the GameStop saga. I have to say though, I appreciate being a buy and hold index fund investor for 99% of my retirement funds so I can just sit back with popcorn and watch everything unfold. If you want some great explanations of what is going…

Friday’s Frugal Five (Madam Vice President Edition)

We now have a female Vice President in the United States. A woman of color - a Black and Indian woman - holds the second highest office in the land. (We also have a new president, and he's pretty cool too). Wednesday was such a powerful and momentous day, and I felt like I was…

Friday’s Frugal Five (Another Week)

It's been another week since I wrote about my thoughts after the events of January 6th when a deadly breach of the US Capitol building occurred, and days since President Trump was impeached for the second time - a first for a United States President. The Senate is currently not planning to reconvene until after…

Friday’s Frugal Five: Anything but Normal

Today is Friday, but it is not a typical Friday, so I'm not going to treat it as such. Two days ago, a pro-Trump mob stormed the US Capitol and flew the Confederate Flag inside the building - something that never even happened during the Civil War. If I have to explain to you why…

Friday’s Frugal Five (5 Good Things from 2020)

While I've lamented quite a bit on the blog this year about how hard 2020 has been, I've decided to close out the year with a positive recap instead. While the good doesn't outweigh the bad by any stretch, I'm very grateful for the good that did exist this year. I've kept a log each…
