I'm talking about gas prices. In July we hit $4 a gallon, and now we're about to hit $2 a gallon. Sure helps the family budget when your outlay for fuel drops 50% in a month or so. Now, I understand that many people have jobs tied to the oil and gas industry, and I hate to see people lose jobs, but I have to think that $4 a gallon was a little beyond the fundamentals of what the price really should have been. I think $2 or so, is probably more realistic. Hopefully we all learned something over the last year. A move toward energy conservation and more fuel efficient vehicles should help the earth and our pocketbooks.
Everyone can do their part in the "go green" movement. Whether it's walking to work, riding your bike, cutting back on water usage, or just using bill pay and estatements to reduce your use of paper products, it all helps. Just remember, it's our children and grandchildren who will have to occupy what we leave behind. Let's try and leave it in as good a shape as possible.
Now if our government leaders could take that theory and apply it to our financial situation, that would be just great!
Oh well, probably wishful thinking, but it's always good to have dreams!
