When I bought my car, a 1998 Pontiac Grand Am, I filled it up once a week, and it cost me about $16.00. Today, if I were to fill it up, it would cost me over $45.00. During that time my income went up a bit, but not to the tune of an extra $30/week, and then it went away completely, as I'm now unemployed.
I've always tried to drive cars that got at least 25/mpg. There are more efficient cars out there now for sale, but since I'm unemployed, how do I make those car payments? It's a slippery slope that many of us cannot get up and appear to be sliding back faster.
Wish I had some answers to life's everyday problems. Maybe I'll declare myself a 501-3c non-profit organization (I already feel like one) and take public donations! Better than denigrating myself to collect "welfare!"
