Then I thought about what it was I wanted to do in retirement (build a new business, travel, annual gifting to the kids, etc) and put a stake in the ground as to what I thought we would need monthly and yearly. As a corollary, are you and your spouse ready to be together full time (assuming both of you will be retired)?

The Frugal Girl

The photos included with this post are mainly from our travel adventures. My biggest financial regret is the amount of money we spent on restaurant meals from the time we were married and both working full time to when we had kids. One is travel; the other is outdoor gear and equipment. How about two things?

Moreover, you’re in charge of your client load and schedule, so professional photography is a great way to build a side hustle while working full time elsewhere. Sites like VRBO and AirBnB have made it easier than ever to market your home to travelers in need, and you may even make new friends along the way.

Family Balance Sheet

JULY 2, 2015

It took us two years of my husband working full-time at his job and then using every other second to work on the house. We sacrificed a lot of time together and took on a lot of stress during this time. We gave up a spacious house, but will now be able to travel more and experience more. Don’t buy in to this.

The Frugal Girl

JANUARY 22, 2024

For 20 or so years I’ve been homeschooling my kids, and am now down to about 1 1/2 (one full-time homeschooler, and one doing College Credit Plus with some support). I know I found The Frugal Girl through the Non-Consumer Advocate, and I’ve read nearly all the archives. When we travel, we always drive.

Family Balance Sheet

DECEMBER 10, 2014

My husband is a personal chef, so he travels a lot for work and moves around the country to learn new styles of cooking. I got tired of being left at home because I had a day job, so now we get to travel together and create our own adventures. I took on extra work outside of my full-time accounting job. Next summer?
