the “think twice before buying anything” is a really good point. I usually make a mental note if i want something, and reconsider after about 1 month if i still need it.
I also started using an app for my phone that reminds me how much i already spent on various things like food, groceries, transport etc., and i end up saving about $500 more each month.
Living in walking distance to work is also a big bonus to save on transportation.

Yes, Ginnie, it’s just a matter of how much you want to travel Oh, yes, we too long to be retired both of us! We must meet some day for sure. If not earlier, so may it be when we’re OLD and we will sit down to have a real gaga kinda travel chat… *giggles*

We are so much on the same page with you, LC, about how to live frugally so that we can have/do the things we want. It definitely can be done. I can hardly wait till Astrid, too, is retured and we can be more flexible with our time when we find good deals. I would love to meet you one day and compare notes.

Food has been one of my weaknesses too Al! Still is, but I try to shape up a bit and really stop and think about the prices

Oh, I so know what you mean with private shower and toilet Gattina, we think so too. Only in an emergency or something we will accept anything else. Actually we had to change a booking (within Sweden) this past week because of that!

Thanks Vagabonde. Yet I didn’t like the Niagara pictures when looking at them at first and I think that’s why it took me six years to sort them…. Somehow they look better to me now! *giggles*
Wow, you have been around a lot, I’m getting quite envious Please continue to write about them, because we like your writing style too, it’s like travel with you when reading about it!
Yes, somehow people do think it has to be more expensive to travel than it is and they don’t have the patience to look for deals either. Maybe that’s because they really aren’t that interested after all?

I always pay attention when it comes to spending money. I always compare several sources and then quality/price. I always buy most of the food in Aldi or Lidl, that’s as good as the more expensive Carrefour we have here !
For travelling too, but an absolutely must is a private shower and toilet now at my “age” ! lol !
