Really thinking about that today as I got the big payoff on the piece of land that I sold last year. WooHoooooo!!!!! I really need to cut back on unnecessary spending, which is actually more a clutter control / practical thing than a financial need.

I'm going to have to do a lot of sacrificing and a lot of saving but its worth it. I'm even hoping I can meet some fellow LPers on one of these trips.

To (try) to control frivolous spending. I did finally start my own retirement account this year with an automatic deduction set up. I kept saying I need to do it and never got around to it. My husband has a good one set up through work, and now we will have mine too.
