... True enough! This last winter I spent $4000.00 for heating oil, this year it will be twice as much! toss in $100.00 per week to drive to work and back per week, for a gas cost of $5,200.00 a year, Plus the heating oil, that's $13,000.00 a year to drive to work and heat my home. in 2 years time, I just bought someone a bran-new $26,000.00 car!
Now take that out of an income of $40,000.00 a year, and there you have it!... Someone just kill me now before I end up with bad credit as well! People say,"park that pick-up and get a hybred." ... ok,... but as I still have 2 years left to pay for it, and them new hybreds are about $25-$30,000.00,... Where pray tell do I pull that from?
I'm afraid this snowball will keep rolling and getting bigger until all the middle class is gone and there will be rich folks, and dead or dying folks.... and we keep just shaking our stupid heads saying,"well,... what are ya going to do?" ...
