I’m just an average joe, no inside information, and I’m not an economist. Having said that, this is the most concerned I’ve been about the economy in a long time. With gas headed to $4/gal, it will take $80 to fill up most cars. Couple that with increases in home heating, and disposable income goes away fast.

...got that right!
Yep. Last night I was at work and I overheard to Cow-irkers talking as they were leaving. They were talking about the high cost of living, and one had a solution of applying for more credit. Oh well.
They say inflation is not heating up, but darned everything I buy doesn’t cost me more every time I buy it. Bread has gone up by 35 percent recently. And on and on.

Yeppers to that! Home heating has been rising for the past several years by significant amounts in the Cleveland area. Add to that gasoline prices...and I find I am looking for ways to cut corners big time.
I am really concerned about the heating bills for this winter. It is going to be tight and tough...
