We individual investors have all become market skittish since the recent huge recession and economic downturn. I’d rather buy stocks at a lower price and sell them at a higher one if I can. It’s hard for me, emotionally to avoid trying to time the market. So, who do you believe?

Since the 2008 recession, many people have rediscovered the savings, joys and health benefits of locally grown food – whether you have a backyard garden, participate in a community garden or shop at the local farmer’s market. In good years our gardens can be bountiful, throwing off much more food than we can consume before it goes bad.

These are the questions I asked my self prior to retiring from a six figure income with bonus’s and stock options in the midst of the recent great recession!

Frugal living helped our budget survive two babies, one recession, four moves and countless emergency expenses. The second is that my “me-time” has been slowly consumed by a husband who works long hours, two little boys, neighborhood activities, school, sports and this blog. The first is that I love saving money.

You still don’t want yet another unwanted, unneeded thing to hide in the deep dark recess of your closet. Perhaps you can convince people to only give you things which can be consumed (things that won’t hang around the house). Even if there is a ‘gift of giving’, you still have that house full of stuff.
