Are summer gas prices gonna hamper your upgrade plans this summer?

All these statements are true but lets say that the rise in gas prices costs you an extra $200/ year, then when you buy food it just got higher because transportation got higher, so let's say that cost an extra $150/year, Heat during the winter months, well now that just got higher because crude went up per barrel, so that's maybe an extra $100+/year, don't forget about other utilities like electric, that went up because they need more money to fund fuel for their utility/maintainence trucks.... The list goes on and on.

Now comes the anniversary date at work and it's review time.... you just find out that your raise is only gonna get you an extra $200(example), per year. What's that mean, means were slowly going broke. Price of gas doesn't just affect your drive to work and back.

You're all right though, it's something we can't do shit about. We need gas no matter what their shit price is. When gas goes up high like it is, it doesn't mean we use lesser of it so somebody out there is lining their pockets really nicely.
