Oh if only I was given the luxury of having tons of disposable income. In fact, I'd probably have millions by now; most of my stock picks do very well.

pax said:I'm trying not to bitch about gas prices, as I am lucky enough to live in the States for one thing and lucky enough to have a car at all. My bike is now on my front porch and I plan to attempt most, if not all, of my weekend errands without the car; we'll see how it goes.
I am also lucky enough to have a good car (Chevrolet Prizm ranked NUMBER ONE by J.D. Power recently in used-car reliability in the Compact Sedan category...its resale value is actually more than I owe on it!) that gets all-right gas mileage. Nevertheless, I've already cut out my near-daily trips home for lunch during the work day. I filled my car to three-quarters of a tank on Sunday, and it's Thursday and I'm still not even close to a half-tank. Hopefully I can make it till next week before I have to fill up again (when I'll be going "home" for the weekend).

As for the argument that it is cheaper than a gallon of milk, that is true, but we don't go to the grocery store to buy 20 gallons every week.

i am very happy right now that i do not own a car. yes, it's a pain in the ass sometimes, but it has its advantages: fresh air, regular exercise, i don't have to worry about insurance/maintenance/gas prices on a daily basis, and it's good for the planet.
sulawesigirl4 said:Gas prices here figure out to be close to $5 a gallon. And this is one of the poorest countries in the world. Most people don't make that much money in a week! So what do they do? Walk a lot in the blazing sun, balancing heavy loads on their heads...take donkey carts when available or crowded dirty dilapidated minivans converted into communal transport...people, chickens, goats and children stuffed into a small space so tight one can barely breathe. And they pay higher prices for the all the goods that are imported into this landlocked country via the roads.
I'm sorry but when I try to feel sorry for an increase in gas prices the richest most luxurious country in the world when it is significantly more expensive in one of the poorest, I have a hard time summoning up the pity.
