I mentioned at work the other day about some good finds that I bought at Goodwill. The 2 ladies that I was talking to both crinkled up their faces and said that they could never shop at Goodwill. They stated that you had no idea who had worn those clothes and whether they had been washed or not. I told them that, believe it or not, I had a washing machine and was able to wash the clothes! They still were not buying it. I told them that both of them enjoy eating out alot and did they have any idea about the people cooking their food and how clean their hands were at the time. I also told them that when they go to hotels, the sheets that they are sleeping on are not brand new and other people have been sleeping on them.
My spouse is always picking up money on our evening walks or when we are out and about. It is amazing that there is so much money laying around!
I definitely do not wash out plastic bags, but I always look up phone numbers in the book. I am frugal about some things and spend too much on other things, especially if it concerns DD.
Reading some of the threads on here and seeing how much money that some people have in savings, makes me feel that I am failing somehow. I try to save, but I don't think that I will ever have a million or even come close to it. Oh well, I am not going to let that stop me from retiring. If JG can do it, so can I!! Maybe not, since I don't have his great intellect!!! I will just have to muddle through somehow.
