I cannot do that !
Wednesday 21st of May 2008 06:53:17 PMI knew there was a reason I never watch the news . . . Well today I did. They say the price of Gas will go up and hit $7.00 a gallon in the future. I cannot afford that. It would totally break me. That is almost double of what it is now, and even now I am hurting. We have cut down on so many things, mostly fun things too ! We dont go anywhere, dont buy anything but food clothing and pay the bills. My friend at work had to get a second job and I have been thinking about that as well. The problem there is that I would never see my son. This is really getting me depressed, so depressed that I need to go rest on my bed with my nice mattress topper to ease this throbbing pain in my head.
If this does come to pass . . . I just dont know if I can do this alone anymore.

We are already paying equivalent to $8 / gallon here in Canada. So I’m hoping I can earn some extra money with blogging - so far it’s an extra $ 100/month. Every little bit helps.

$7 a gallon???? - I wish! … Here in the UK it’s already $11.56 US a gallon [on a rate exchange of £1 UK = $2 US]. Cannot afford it? Somehow you find that you continue buying the stuff at the expense of something else. BW. S

I saw a story that showed the price of gas worldwide. In oil producing countries it was like 0.12/gal. And as the other comment shows well over $10.00.
You can do like me. I hardly ever even look at the price of gas. My bicycle uses very little.
If you don’t think you can do the bike thing check this story out about a family in your own beloved Orem.

Hey SEH, I have friends in London and Germany too, and yupe, gas is terrible there. My problem is that I dont have an expense that I can eliminate. Well, I do need to loose weight, so food it will be !

Kim, I must have seen that same story, it was sooo cheap in the Oil producing countries. We walk everywhere except to my folks house and to work. I wish we could bike….but I would be biking for 4 hours a day! Nice article tho

Kim, It is scary though, to think of gas prices sooooo high! I’m wondering about all the people who have to drive–
I know this summer people will be staying closer to home as will we!

Wow so it’s everywhere, all around the world. It’s awful. I have been driving my husband’s car to work because he says it saves me .75 cents a day.
It’s much too hard to take all six of my dogs on a bicycle… lol. And the dog sports I go to are getting expensive, with gas. Dangit! I love my dog sports! Next trip is in June to St. George, but I’m splitting gas with a friend so that’ll be nice.
Good thing I only drive to work 3 days a week. That helps!
