You don’t need a million dollars (+ more miscellany!)

You don’t need 1 million to retire.

Mr. FG sent me this encouraging article about how you can retire on less than 1 million.

Some of the points in the article were similar to the ones I made when I wrote about retirement.

(It’s a post about what I tell myself when I get down about being late to start on retirement savings!)

I made a birthday pie at Sonia’s request.

This is newsy because I really do not do pies.

(I hate eating pie crust and I also hate making it.)

This was a cheater’s pie, though, as I subbed a graham cracker crust for the regular crust.

I used Smitten Kitchen’s recipe for chocolate pudding pie.

You can recycle contact lenses now!

Contact lens waste is not a super, super pressing priority (things like food waste are a much bigger trash problem for most people), but still, I was happy to hear that TerraCycle now offers a recycling program for contacts and their packaging.

You can read all about it here.

I’m trying a new produce delivery service.

I’ve been on the waitlist for Hungry Harvest, a service that delivers ugly, excess produce that would otherwise be thrown away.   So cool.

(You may have seen this on Shark Tank!)

And I just got an email saying they’ve now expanded into my area. Woohoo!

I believe they deliver from Virginia up to New York state, and they’re planning to grow even more.

You can get on the waitlist to be notified if they start delivering to your area.

I’ll let you know how my experience is.

And that’s all I’ve got for you today! I hope that those of you navigating the change to daylight saving time are handling it ok.

Me? I’m very happy it’s staying light later at night, but I have to admit, it is awfully hard to get up when the alarm goes off.   My body is telling me that it’s way too early!   Hopefully I’ll adjust soon.
