I write a blog about finances, and another about life, but my point is that I'm always searching for new topics AND new tips. I had to find my way back to your initial post because I wanted to know the story. WOW-what a story it is. I'm sorry you have gone through this, but I know that God provides and blesses, you are doing the same by sharing your story.Jere and Carahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01110083687473383239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5609957991100287914.post-8422550788943187172011-02-04T20:56:35.904-08:002011-02-04T20:56:35.904-08:00Joy: You asked about electricity and vehicle repai...Joy: You asked about electricity and vehicle repairs? We voluntarily paid $40-60 a month for utilities at our last caretakers job. Now we are given free utilities at our new caregivers job. Thankfully we have a savings that we have not deleted to use towards expenses. We've moved to a smaller town so there is a good chance that someday we won't be able to afford a vehicle but will take public transporation. That would be fine as long as we can get to church. :-)A Woman that Fears the Lordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09028148446621304362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5609957991100287914.post-67803035574820525752011-02-03T07:21:08.231-08:002011-02-03T07:21:08.231-08:00Okay, I think I got to your first post. Now I know...Okay, I think I got to your first post. Now I know your story. VERY interesting. I know I could live with less--less stuff and less space-wow, would we ever have to get rid of things! Some I'd be happy to see go, some other things like items that belonged to my Grandma I would hate to let them go. I did realize that I could give them back to relatives... and the other decorative items in my house, they don't have the sentimental value. Like I've read in your later posts, I realize that a smaller place takes less housework/cleaning, and I embrace that idea with gusto! I used to spend a lot of time making the house look 'perfect' (clean and decorated), but I'm getting tired of that (and the old back and knees aren't getting any younger). My husband is just 60, but he is feeling the body pains also. We know we want to be able to do some things before we get completely worn out and selling our house and moving closer to children/grandchildren is one wish. My husband says, "Do we own this house or does this house own us?" The house and yard own us! I'm already dreading the yard work, even though he does most of it. I have a flower bed that I keep minimizing, but this might be the year the flowers go to a loving home... hurts my back and knees too much. Anyway, I am enjoying reading about how you are saving money, and I know you are trying to save every penny--but, what about the big expenses? Electricity? Vehicle repairs? These are the things that can really hit the wallet. Well, I could ask and tell a lot more, but I'd better quit.Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15471639876072617577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5609957991100287914.post-22485149374229654922010-10-30T11:57:01.427-07:002010-10-30T11:57:01.427-07:00I'm enjoying refinding your blog.
