Well, part one turned out to be pretty long, LOL, but I do believe that you all know how much income fluctuates from year-to-year, and about what my monthly bills are.

I was asked this morning if I wouldn’t mind posting my income, as a reference for others, here on the blog. I haven’t done so yet, because it varies from year-to-year, sometimes greatly.
For instance, last year my (work) income was about $10,000 after deductions. I do not include my daughters survivors benefits as income. I also [...]

The only things that we actually recycle are returnables. We do not have a vehicle, and we do not have mandatory recycling pick-up because we live in a privately owned park. There are some other things that we do, though:
* We get what newspapers that we need from my mother. When we are done with them, I use [...]

I have been doing this by adding the used grounds to the garden and planters. It is easy to just dump them in and spread them around.

Here are a couple of links that share many [...]
