Saving Money, Changing Careers, Re-Gifting, and Retiring Overseas

Here are four posts from one year ago today that I thought were worth revisiting:

• Comments: Money Saving Tip: Skip Dessert when Eating Out; Drink Water - "Another way to save is just have ice water instead of a soda, plus it is better for you."

• The True Cost of Changing Careers - A real-life couple's struggles with the husband going back to school.

• Is Re-gifting Okay? - Of course!

• Comments: Best Financial Tips from FMF Readers, Part 7: Retire Overseas - "There is a huge crisis looming for America.  It is 76 million baby boomers beginning to retire in 2011.  I've wondered how these people are going to make it through the next 10, 20, 30 years of their life if Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and quite possibly, the Stock Market fails them. The only obvious avenue is for them to relocate to a cheaper cost of living country."
