I have a son, car and house payment among other things and $80 a month isn't nearly enough to make me bat an eye. If it did then I would just cut back on unessecary things I like to spend my money on and make do. Do I like the fact that gas prices are raising? No, but it's a fact of life and I deal with it the best I can. No sense getting up in arms and acting like the sky is falling as some people do.
Everyone is different though, and we are all entitled to our own feelings on the subject. I'm sure there will be those that agree with me and those that don't.  |
That's just it. It's not just your gas that is increasing. If I were, then I would agree with you 100%. Gas is going up because barrels of oil is going up. You pay more for gas, so does every business in America. And lord knows they don't want to lose money, so they have to hike their prices up just to break even.
