Change of weekend plans because of gas prices.

Adam and were planning on going away for labor day weekend, but now we are not going anywhere. Just staying in our own apartment right here in the city. I am not paying $3.39 for a gallon of gas just because I want to leave the city for the weekend. I can find something to do here.

Part of me feels horrible, complaining about the gas prices. Especially when there are people that live on the south coast that do not even have a car to fill with gas anymore. However, it seems my whole way of life has basically changed overnight. I cannot afford to keep driving when it costs almost $50 to fill up my small car. Thank the heavens that I do not drive an SUV. I was smart enough to stay out of that suburban trap.

So, I have been trying to figure out a way to make my money stretch a little farther. For one thing I need to stay out of Target. I can spend a lot of money there without blinking an eye. I also have to start buying more groceries and quit eating out so often. I am still saving for Europe. I am not willing to put that trip on hold yet.
