Fashion Without Guilt

APRIL 19, 2010

My mother was the sales rack queen and still is, and my dad has a New York state of mind "where everything can be talked down in price" and I mean EVERYTHING. Please formspring me and let me know, if you have any knowledge of 401k or just want to share your experiences. I have always been a frugal shopper at heart.

I pick up a lot of them at garage sales for 25 cents to a $1. When I retired, I used this method to re-invest the proceeds from my company 401K (that I had rolled into an IRA). It caught me by surprise that the stocks/mutual funds in which I invested while in the 401K could not be transferred in kind to my IRA.

As a young mom, I saved like mad – going to garage sales, thrift stores and accepting hand me downs on toys and clothing. I also saved – maxing out 401K contributions to build up the retirement funds.

We bought our house as a short sale in 2008. I just wanted to get away and I moved my 401K money to the advisor they referred me to. The plan is for us to both retire around age 58 and move back to the small town where I grew up. We also love travel and plan on doing much more of that when we retire. What’s your best frugal win?

Instead of investing your money in education or your 401K, your money goes to clothes, gadgets, big screen TV’s or alcohol. You go weekend e-baying, garage-saling or to the flea markets. If you always have more month than cash and never seem to get ahead or even to even, it’s time to look at some reasons you may be broke.
