Hey everyone, was just reading some article on msnbc.com about high gas prices (I know what else is new?) anyway, the article was stating how people were canceling summer vacations due to high gas costs. My question is, in the event gas starts getting worse than it is now, say like how it is in Europe, (I think its like 5 bucks a LITER,) what is your plan B? Pretty soon its gonna cost like 50.00 to fill my tank and it I do that once a week, 200.00 at the end of the month! Its like another bill. More expensive than my monthly grocery bill, cell bill etc. Its depressing. Well, I got a raise yesterday. My raise at work was .38 more cents an hour. And gas seems to have been rising about a dollar a year, maybe even a 1.50 from this time last year, how do they expect us to keep up?!! My "plan B" is to get another job. I do not have a husband to rely on, nor do I ask for money from my parents. I'm thinking about getting a second job for the weekends. This depresses me. I do not WANT another job, or really "need" it, I just refuse to let myself begin to live paycheck to paycheck. On my days off I do NOT go anywhere. My car sits in the driveway the entire weekend. I am trying to preserve my gas, maybe try and prolong how many times I do need to fill up. It it means I have to sacrifice vacations and social outtings w/ friends, so be it. It's irritating, so many people complain, yet is there anything that can be done? I mean 50 dollars to fill up gas is ridiculous. WHen I graduated HS I remember it would cost me $10-12 to fill up. (and this was only 7 years ago in 2001, not back in 1976, lol)
Anyway, does anyone else have a plan B with the rising cost of say....EVERYTHING??
Love
