I chose an interesting time to retire, New Year’s Eve. Took early retirement- lower income balanced out by way lower stress.
Then comes inflation across the globe. We’re lucky here that it isn’t as bad as elsewhere in the world. But it has presented its challenges!
My parents grew up during the Great Depression. I learned a lot from them. I have always been frugal as a result.
This year? I have upped my frugal game! So, what are your #frugaltips?
I will start. ALDI. Cheap quality groceries.
Good morning #CoSo! I am enjoying my second cup of coffee (takes at least one before I feel like talking or posting!). #CaffeineClub
It’s a beautiful, sunny #Caturday.
This is an older photo of my kitties, but my favorite. They are Good Girls! 😻

Update: It's still very, very early. A source "briefed on the attack" tells colleague Deirdre k walsh
the suspect appeared to be searching for the Speaker. Confronting Mr. Pelosi at home, the intruder shouted, "Where is Nancy, where is Nancy?"
If She was home, there would have been security. But because she wasn't he was able to assault Mr Pelosi
Here’s how Paul Pelosi and a hero 911 operator thwarted San Francisco attack
911 operator listens to background, she's sensing something isn't right, so she listens in, turns up the volume and Paul Pelosi is basically trying to tell her in code what's going on. 'Why are you here? What are you going to do to me?'"
"You can imagine how he's trying to not let the attacker know that 911 is listening," Miller said. "So she puts out a priority one wellness call
Hiking and camping. Just me, my dog, and nature.
Since I retired, I have TIME to do both! Anyone else enjoy getting back to nature? I get so much blowback from people, telling me it’s not safe for me as a woman, etc. But since I started doing it, my stress levels are lower and my happiness with life is greater.

Let's try an analogy.
You're on a boat. It's big enough for you and all of your friends, and it weathers the seas just fine with all of you aboard.
Now let's imagine that a villainous billionaire is in the process of sinking a cruise liner next to your boat in the middle of viscious storm, and you have to scramble to keep your boat afloat as many, many, many new people climb aboard.
That's @th3j35t3r today. Be kind. This stuff tends to get sorted very quickly.
https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/nancy-pelosi-husband-paul-attack/index.html I am sure that an assassination is going to happen. And then the GOP will bend over backwards to justify it. GOP House leader offered thoughts and prayers. How about toning down the rhetoric from his own members?
