I've determined that I have a love/hate relationship with money. I love to have it, hate to spend it. I bet you are the same way, no? Buying groceries every week is killing me! I try to be choosy about what I put in the cart and it doesn't matter if it's a little or a lot, it's almost always at least $100 or more. And it pisses me off, makes me physically queasy to know that I don't have a choice, I have to buy groceries!!!
And it's not like it's convenient to get those groceries, either. It's a 20+ mile trek just to get to the store if you need to buy anything more than milk or eggs. One way. So, we always make sure we have a plan, combine 2 trips into the one. Like oil change and grocery shopping at the same time so we can multi-task. Which leads me to the whole gas thing. $70 to fill up today. I was telling a much younger co-worker today that I could remember paying 99 cents a gallon when I was in high school. An movies were a nickle! Haha, you get the idea.
It's just my little vent today. Damn supply and demand crap!

And things are just getting more and more expensive. I DO remember when gas was under 40 cents a gallon - like 40 years ago. Was talking to my neighbor yesterday and he bought his house at $85,000 (middle class neighborhood in Ohio) 6 years ago - it's worth $55,000 now. the house across the street from us that belonged to an elderly woman just sold for $35,000 - 25 years ago we bought our home for $40,000 - I don't even want to know what I could sell it for today. Sad, sad, sad. Life is a journey and we're all along for the ride LOL
Found you at one of the weekend hops and honestly I can't remember which one - hope you can follow me back to WynnieBee's Buzz By Sunday - still a newbie :D
Well - try to have a good week anyway!
