Is anyone else feeling the pinch with the price of gas and everything else going up and pay checks staying the same? Just found out that our electric this winter is due to go up 30%. I mean this economy is really scary.

I'm with you tater. The rise in the gas prices is driving me crazy, especially when we have to travel in flights either domestic or over seas. In order to go out we are sharing with our family friends who help us and whom we help out in order to cut out on some extra charges.

I totally understand what you mean. Gas is ridiculous! I'm so lucky because I get to work from home and I don't have to worry about driving a ton and wasting gas and my hard earned money. If you want to learn how to make some extra money and enjoy the benefits of working form home even part time, contact me. Plus, what I do helps the environment!!!

the place where we live is in the outskirts of the city. so although we save on gas going to the workplace which is close by...every weekend when we have to go to the city to buy stuff....the gas bill really really hits us...

i am afraidwe are all going to be feeling the pinch.. even those of us in well paid jobs are finding things mounting up. Gas, paower, groceries are all going up faster than salaries are. Hard times ahead for all.

Yes meat is expensive now too. This year we went in halves with my parents and got a side of beef. My freezer is full. It was grass fed, natural beef. It comes from a local farm. Perhaps try finding someone in your area that does this. We had to get our orders in by the spring time.
