GroundHog Day!

Today we paid off the house we have not lived in yet but are moving to in March. We are not rich people. We are thrifty people who make less money than many of the people we know. Yet our cars are paid for and 4 houses are paid for. We have had to finance our houses we are selling since the banks are a real pain in the butt. However we are getting 10 times the interest rate on these houses as our money is getting in the savings account! We did take the offer to retire form the evil empire who values money over experience in their teaching staff. Our needs are simple and we live well anyway since our idea of the good life seems to be different from many others....at least those we know. As I document our packing and traveling 2700 miles with the cats, I will share all my thrifty ways of living well.
