Gas Prices And No Solution

The cost of living is ever increasing. Between the cost of gasoline increasing along with everything else that we purchase daily, weekly, monthly, it imperative that we, as a society, do what we can to bridge the gap between our current income and our increasing expenses without putting ourselves into debt. It would be pretty horrible to look back ten years from now, knowing that you can attribute thousands of dollars of your debt to gasoline.

I become increasingly frustrated at peoples gas saving solutions because not many of them assist me in any way. For example, work closer to home. Okay, well, I will just quit my job then and find any random job, closer to home, that pays half as much as long as it helps me save on drive time. No. Or, buy a motorcycle. That's a great idea, except for the added loan payment every month and where would I put my four year old son on that thing?

As far as who is incurring the profits from this surge in oil prices... the constant cynicism as to who exactly the try culprits are changes from day to day. I just hope whoever they are, that they are enjoying the billions of dollars they are pulling out of America's pocket books. Honestly, what can we do about this? Gas strikes? Could everyone really pull together for one day to "stand up" against the oil companies? I doubt it.

As far as what I will do for now, go to http://www.gasbuddy.com to help me find the cheapest gas prices so I don't have to drive around and look. I am not going to drive anywhere that isn't really necessary or a special occasion. I really just can't afford it. There isn't an end in sight to these raging gas prices either. If they reach $6.00/gallon, I really won't be driving anywhere but work! Actually, then I will just be working to drive to work... but hey.
