FEELING DISCOURAGED :(

June 4th, 2008 at 08:23 pm

It's not even summer, but I'm already dreading what's to come for the winter. Heating oil is at $4.69 a gallon. Could you imagine what the price is going to be like for the winter? I have a 1,000 gallon tank and I need about 1500 gallons of oil to get us through the winter. I'll try no to think about it too much and think of the lazy days of summer (lazy for me). I can't help but to be discouraged about the economy. I think about all of the single moms and the families trying to make it on minimum wage or people really strapped with debt.

On another note, I decided to jot down all of our expenditures for the month of June and see where our money is going. No savings for the May 30 paychecks, this is the first in a long time I was not able to put money away. Hopefully I can catch up next pay period. I've been very aggressive with savings and not being able to save drives me insane. Wish me luck this month, too many things going on.

    Good luck with your savings! I really need to track my expenses and buckle down too.

    I too fear for people next winter. The elderly who are on fixed social security incomes, families on public assistance and etc., how will they make it. Sure there are fuel assistance programs but they only can have so much and the rest has to come from their pockets. My DH's mother is in her 90's and still owns her own home; I worry about her next winter, someone may have to move in with her to help her out. I hope this election helps change things.

    Wow, that means you will need to spend over $7000 to heat your house. That is terrible!! I hope things get better too.
