THE RETIRE ON $ 1,000.00 A MONTH GOAL - POST # 83
Although we take in far more than that each month, the goal was to reduce living expenses, have more free $$, no credit card debt, and yet, still maintain everything we needed/wanted.
Part of that was ending up with a low (or almost no) dwelling or living expenses.... well, "that" did not really work out (due to a boat loan) . . . but, only because we lost $10,000.00-$15,000.00 on the house sale, otherwise we are on target. This loss of $ will loom large in the next few years, as it was intended for boat repair-renovation.
On the 24th we will have been here 30 days ! I would posit that we have eaten out more times in this month, than in the entire 5 years we lived in Westfir/Oakridge, I am not talking fast food eat-in-the-car/carry-out eating, but regular sit-down restauranting (lunches and dinners).
