closing some accounts

March 18th, 2014 at 05:44 pm

I have a large number of mutual funds and stock holdings. Most of them do not have great sums of money in them. Just something I found interesting to do when I was in my 50's. Now, since I have been hospitalized, I have decided to close some of them. My husband is not into money managing and I can;t imagine leaving him with a mess to sort out.

Of course, I do not want to pay a lot of taxes on capital gains, so I will take it slowly. I sent off to close one mutual fund and two stocks yesterday. I will add the cash to our EF.
I also saved $11 at Ingles yesterday, which I will ad to my $20 challenge.

My daughter's birthday

November 24th, 2013 at 09:47 pm

Today would have been my daughter's 44th birthday. She died in July.
My birthday was yesterday. I remember the lawyer calling me on my birthday saying that my baby was on the way. (She was adopted at birth) She was born at 2 the next morning and I had to go and quit my job the next day. That was an exciting time!
No body in my family has lived to a ripe old age. If I make it one more year, I will be the oldest! I have no living family except for my hubby and puppies!

I am 39

November 23rd, 2013 at 07:51 pm
