Well, Pink Floyd almost had it right. They should have said, "Money, goes to gas." Holy crap I can't believe how much our household expenses have gone up. My wife and I have a few dollars remaining to last us the day and then her check is deposited tonight at midnight. Payday couldn't come soon enough. Gas and milk both cost $4. Produce is through the roof. We don't eat meat (just fish sometimes... I am rethinking that in light of animal theology) so that helps, but healthy food (organic, free-trade, etc.) seems to have gone up the most. Oh well, I am just happy I can open my fridge and know that there will be something in there I can eat. Of course, it might just be a SmartDog or a SlimFast shake, but it is more than a lot of people get... and for that, I am grateful.
