Just curious. How much is gas prices effecting eveyrone? My husband and I just got paid today and it just seems that we are always broke. It is really weird though because we were just fine 6 months ago, haven’t changed any spending habbits and then all the sudden we now live pay check to pay check. I looked back on it and the amount that we pay in gas and in groceries is where are extra expenses have come. Do you know that we pay almost $5 a gallon now for milk. This is just ridiculous. What I dont understand, the government gave us the extra checks this year because of the economy but don’t they understand the reason the economy is hurting is due to everything and everybody having to raise their prices because of gas and yet no one is getting paid more.
Just aggrevated….I would love to hear other views….comment
Gas prices aren’t really affecting us that much. We live in Puerto Rico and the gas here is roughly $3 a gallon. As you can imagine – this is way below the national average. However – our grocery bills are getting bigger and bigger each month … and I always buy the same thing! I kind of feel sorry for my hubby .. poor thing has been eating mashed potatoes for a month now
