December 28, 2018 by Marcia Mantell

When our older daughter went off to college, it was a shock to the household. We didn’t think things would be so different because our younger daughter was still home. Just as we were getting used to the “new normal”, the older graduated from college and the younger was a senior in high school with one foot out the door. We knew at that point that things were going to … [Read more...] about Family Finance Fun—and Annual Tea Party

Talking About Market Drops and Yo-Yo Diets In My Retirement Kitchen

February 15, 2018 by Marcia Mantell

What’s Cookin’?

If your kitchen is anything like mine, it’s the place everyone gathers to talk about their day, share special moments, and ask important questions. And to see what’s cooking.
