Reader Case Study: Grandmother Of Five Hoping For Financial Security and Funds To Travel!

Marie is an active, travel-loving grandmother of five who wants our help planning the remainder of her career and her retirement. We're headed to North Carolina today to make sure Marie can meet her goals of financial security coupled with fun!

Then, Frugalwoods nation (that's you!), reads through their situation and provides advice, encouragement, insight, and feedback in the comments section.

Top 5 Tips for Inviting Bath Designs

Learn How to Create an Inviting Guest Bathroom Design in Your Bucks County Home One of the best things about the holiday season is having people to stay in your home.  Entertaining guests is important, but so too is creating a sanctuary for them with a well-prepared guest bathroom. To ensure your visitors feel happy and relaxed, good bath design is called for, along with a few extra touches for a guest bathroom or powder room.  1.  KEEP IT SIMPLE As with any bathroom design, invest in a good shower, toilet and sink with a vanity.
