My husband makes a decent wage too, and I know how you feel. It costs him at least $50 a week in gas just to get to work. We live 20 miles from the nearest store, so shopping trips have been cut back to the minimum. We bought a pellet stove to heat our home. When we bought it, a ton of pellets was $100 - 2 years later, it's double. Everytime we figure out a way to save some money, someone else is right behind us figuring out how to justify charging more. It gets so frustrating fighting an uphill battle all the time.

I agree with with everyone here! It's a down right depression! You need like 5 jobs to just make ends meet. And since gas is so high, of course everything else is. This country went to pot, and I still say Bush is the problem. I can't wait till he's out, and hopefully the next president can fix was he has ruined!

You can afford to live and your doing it. Though you won't have anything for entertainment.

Here's your prescription:
-Turn your down to 50 and bundle up.
-Close the heat vents on the main floor except for the bedroom so the pipes don't freeze in the basement.
-Buy fewer groceries. Go on a diet.
-Don't buy cigs or alcohol.
-Drive your car as little as possible.
-Save on water. Don't flush unless it's No. 2
-Keep lights off when not in use.
-No fastfood.
-Get current with all bills.
-No new loans or credit cards.
-Get creative and find other ways to cut expenses.

Do this for one year and life will be wonderful.

Now, go my child down the path set forth and you will find financial ectasy!

now is the time that the pen is mightier than the sword- if you have a complaint- or even better an idea that will help all America save money, cut fuel costs, and so on- gripping doesn't upon a door- but grabbing the door knob and with a good twist open the door. tell your congressperson & your senator how you feel- just today I wrote to 2 senators and my congresswoman about the economy, tax charges & how difficult I have it while our elected officials live in plenty. And it's not just Bush's fault- its ours too for not writing them and letting them have an ear full! got a complaint? write it to your Senator, Congress-person, your President! quit complaining and start writing!

hey skorpo2007! i love your dogs! i have one she is 13 years old! she is joy to have with me! yes prices have gone up! we only drive somewhere when we have too! which is not very much. when we do we go to the store and make our stops count! also, no matter who gets in for president they do the opposite to what they say! you can see it know they all say one thing and have said they will do the opposite! whoever gets there has a big mess to clean up!

How many people in this country have gas guzzling SUV's they are driving around in?
