My Inexpensive Golf Clubs And Equipment
I really enjoy playing golf. It’s a great way to challenge myself and to get some exercise. Once or twice a week, I’ll arrive early at our local course, and walk 9 holes. My game is slowly improving. According the golf app on my phone, my current handicap is a 9 and I have an average score of 82.5 per…

Our Life These Days
I was so blessed by the response to my last post. It looks like the old email system for sending out updates is still working, but I gather that I will need to migrate to a new system, sooner rather than later. It was so cool to hear from some of you in both the comments and via twitter. You…
I Have Missed You
What’s up, my friends!?! I hope that you all are doing well. It’s hard to believe, but what was supposed to be a break of a few months – turned into a five year absence. I can’t tell you just how many times I’ve sat down to type and update the blog – but I just never hit the publish-button.…

Tax Year 2021 fun and excitement
Taxes are upon us. Again.
I guess we all have reason to be thankful when we have the income to be taxed, but I doubt many of us would put filing tax returns high on our lists of great ways to spend time.
I'm not an early filer, but at least I'm an on-time filer now. I used to kick the can so far down the road that I'd run up against the extended filing deadline. Progress is progress!
(At least we get an extra weekend to file this year! )
As we get into tax season 2022, most of our taxes are similar to last year's. Here are a few things of interest about this year's for us.
Here we go ….

Six frugal things my dad did
My dad passed away at the beginning of 2022 at 85. I owe a lot of who I am to him. In particular, I owe what frugal habits I have to him and my mom. Those habits have kept our family out of a lot of trouble for a long time.
He was born at the tail end of the Great Depression in a rural village in Illinois. Several times he described his upbringing to me as “poor” but didn't ever say that his family was ever in need. His parents saw the full brunt of the Depression though, and no doubt that's what shaped his frugality.
Here are a few examples of frugal things that my dad did:
A lesson in speaking up for yourself: I saved $575 for a moment of discomfort
Today, I want to share a small victory.
Like all humans, I have flaws. One of mine is that I hate confrontation. It's a family thing. I'm not sure why, but none of us like conflict. Sure, this trait has some upsides. My brothers and I don't get into a lot of arguments and fights with our family and friends. And when we do have conflict, we do our best to resolve things quickly.
But this conflict avoidance has some enormous downsides. When trying to make peace, for instance, we're likely to give far too much in an effort to reach compromise quickly. Plus, we don't like to negotiate. Negotiation is, inherently, conflict. No thanks!
In my life, this is especially problematic in circumstances where I need to stand up for myself. Let me give you an example.
Drama in real life: Moving Mom to memory care
Today, I did the second-hardest thing I've ever had to do: I took away Mom's cat.
Mom's assisted living facility called last Thursday. “We strongly encourage you to consider moving your mother to memory care,” the director told me. “I know we talked about this a year ago, and at that time you and your family decided she wasn't ready. We think she's ready now. She's refusing her meds. She's refusing to eat. She's wandering. She's more confused than ever.”
I phoned my brother, Jeff, who has handled the bulk of Mom's care since she moved to Happy Acres a decade ago. “What do you think?” I asked.
“I think they're right,” he said. “Mom has been to the emergency room three times since the middle of November. She seems relatively lucid after each hospital visit, but that fades fast. Within a day of returning home, she's out of it again. And her confusion does seem to be getting worse.”
The leak in our bathroom ceiling
Ah, the joys of homeownership.
Remember the peeling paint in the bathroom ceiling that I mentioned last week? The peeling paint that I felt certain was due to humidity from the shower and lack of adequate ventilation? Well, I was wrong. The paint is peeling because we have a leak in the roof.
It seems to be a small leak, but it's a leak nonetheless.
Monday morning, I noticed that there was a tea-colored water stain in the area where the paint had peeled. “I don't like that,” I thought, and I snapped a photo.
I drove up to the family box factory, where my brother and I spent several hours waiting for Mom to be discharged from the hospital. While we waited, we sorted through her paperwork to be sure we had everything in order. We updated her personal-finance records. We chatted about the future.
Four priceless things you can do for free
Some of the most important things you can do don't cost a cent.
Here we are at the end of 2021.
I won't share anything in particular about 2021 because it's not important enough for you to read.
To be fair, I'm writing this for myself. I need to remind myself of these things going forward. It's part of me becoming a better human being. If there's something in here that helps you to become a better human being, great.
Here are a few priceless things that don't cost anything but a bit of time.
1. Telling your loved ones that you love them
Sometimes it seems like you have all the time in the world to call or visit a relative.
The last 20 months or so really put a damper on those kinds of things.
Lots of people waiting to go see people. Lots of people waiting “until things get better.”
Whatever.
