Default Re: My dad called me "frugal" today!

It's awesome that he recognized the changes you had made and acknowledged them! When Hubby changed companies, we talked with his dad about using his financial advisor since we had a bunch of retirement stuff to move. His parents have really good financial instincts and habits and were able to retire early, so we figured he'd know a good one to use. I gave his dad (he was visiting) copies of all the data I had and he gave it to the advisor. On the phone, the guy said we were doing well so far. I about fell over. We got such a late start in retirement planning that I was surprised that he felt we were doing a good job so far. It felt really good. Of course, we haven't told him about our debt yet....

Being one of the only unfrugal people in my family, I am amending my dream.....I want to be debt free and for someone to call me frugal...
