Worked out good that we are "transplants" from Oregon...I used to frequent Powell's Book Store all the time...also one of HIS favorite book haunts...  |
Until a transaction, you have STORED VALUE.
Once that is converted....
BE thrifty, frugal and and try to get both of you in a "make it grow" mode.
Easy to spend windfalls of any kind, size or shape. Harder to reinvest, but more profitable in the long run.
And that is just ONE niche, keep ordinary, everyday, steady-stream stuff in mind too. Hidden treasures are harder to find, but don't jump over the quarters to get to the dollar bill, eh?
