This morning when I left for work at 7:40, gas was only $3.99. Then when I went out on my lunch break gas was still only $3.99. Then in a mere 3 hours later it jumped to $4.10/gallon of gas! Good grief! This is so ridiculus!!
I read an article on CNN that said that if a person is making minimage wage at 40 hours a week, then one whole day of their pay will go to filling up their car with gas. What a discouraging thought!
My husband and I are leaving for vacation on July 3, and will be back on July 13. We have a 5 hour drive to our first destination our parents house, then a 3 hour drive to my Grandma's house, a 3 hour drive back to my parents house, and then another 5 hour drive back to our house in Ohio. We will be going home to Michigan to visit family. I figure we will probably spend close to $300.00 in gas!!!!! OMG, I can't believe that.
My Grandma lives on the lake in a resort town, can we say NO fun shopping because of the dam gas money we will be using instead. It's a good thing I don't really need many new clothes. (like that has ever stopped me before!) It's also a good thing we will be staying with family, so there will be no need to buy "extra" food or pay for a hotel.
Man what is a working family of two to do?! We are going to try and have fun despite the extremely high amount of money we will be spending on gas.
