I'm getting closer to retirement and having to think much more carefully about how I'm going to manage on a pretty small pension. I'm lucky to live in a large city with lots of entertainment options but many of them cost a LOT of money so I've been scoping out all the freebie or very low cost alternatives and I'm very pleased to know that I won't be short of things to do!<br /><br />More and more I find that I also stick to a few basic meals - but like today's post - I use bits and pieces to use up leftovers and create new options along the way - and when in doubt - make soup!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4690929350463100222.post-66607618242328926062015-01-27T12:39:55.111-08:002015-01-27T12:39:55.111-08:00I think we all have a basic set of repeated meals,...I think we all have a basic set of repeated meals, changing a bit with the seasons. After all what is a "treat" if its not something different! The bank you mentioned caused me so many problems in the past we refuse to go anywhere near it. I have found time is more valuable and a few years ago when I left I a high powered and long hours I found I needed £5K less a year because the next job I went home on time and cooked properly.TrishWishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12133314088190424463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4690929350463100222.post-91197057572550434072015-01-27T12:15:23.907-08:002015-01-27T12:15:23.907-08:00I bet after a few months you will not miss the mon...I bet after a few months you will not miss the money from your drop hours and wonder why you did not reduce a lot sooner.<br />Syvmarkdebbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12282808180803998985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4690929350463100222.post-36631694347664442082015-01-27T11:22:56.678-08:002015-01-27T11:22:56.678-08:00How nice to hear normal ways of living within your...How nice to hear normal ways of living within your means.
