I’m not spending any more money. Gas has doubled and some grocery items cost 25-50% more now. I’ve basically quit eating out, and buy mostly stuff on sale to balance things out since
I’m not the government and don’t have a money tree in the back yard.

Well, I am with you! Most of the things on my list are either on sale or there’s some special on.

We may have an easier time not eating out, as we pretty much never got into the habit to begin with.

Where are you where gas has doubled? Out in CA? We pay more than the natl ave where I am because we have to use a special gas formula and are in an ethanol-mandated area (ugggh).

Same here. If Wall Street thinks everything will be AOK with me paying ridiculous prices for energy, I have no desire to do much discretionary spending.
