About Me

Petunia 100

I am a 51 year old divorced mother of two, trying to build financial security for myself. My chicks have both flown the nest, so I flew it too, and plan to sell that sucker.

I enjoy reading personal finance blogs and watching Vlogs. I am working on doing a better job planning and budgeting. My hope is to semi-retire in my mid to late 50s.

I live in California's beautiful gold country, 7 twisty-turny mountain miles from the nearest tiny town. This is rural living, folks.
