About Me:

Buendia

I am a 55-year-old architect, and I live in New Mexico with my husband D, daughter F and a sweet black dog. I used to track our toilet paper usage (and how often I buy dental floss, and our grocery bills and a lot of other things, too) and that is how we paid off our mortgage early. I still track every dollar and dime we spend.

FINANCIAL GOALS

- Retirement - $7000 for D and $7000 for me - AUTOMATED!

- College savings
$350/month already budgeted
total saved to date: $31,822.99

- Mortgage was ELIMINATED in 2017.

- Car Savings - continue putting in $150 per month (automatic withdrawal)

- Amount to 401K = 25% of my husband's gross salary
- Amount to SEP = 25% of my gross salary

Current TV Obsessions

We don't have television or cable, but manage to watch a lot of it regardless (on our computers, for free)!

- Moone Boy (on hulu; regular hulu, we don't have plus). This show is a funny sitcom about a boy in Ireland with an imaginary friend (who happens to be Chris O'Dowd). I used to live in Ireland, so it's nice to hear the accents again, and the references are hysterically funny!

- Orphan Black (watching on Amazon Prime for free, but most episodes are still up on the BBC iplayer). I know there are British, Scottish and Americans married to them on SavingAdvice. Wondering if you are watching, too? Second season just started, but we are still on the first. I can't tell you about it much because I'd give it away, but it's sci-fi and mystery, and fascinating!

- All Over the Place (this is one that F loves! - it's on bbc iplayer) - British kids' show; the hosts visit crazy places in the UK (and America and Australia)

What are you watching?

I'll have to keep the shows you mentioned in mind when I finish my current show ... Suits (Amazon Prime.) I just watched episode 3 and there was a cameo of a Tesla!

Moone Boy sounds interesting! I love Irish accents. There is a man on the train that I talk to every chance I get just to hear how he talks!
