Money Matters - Part 5

I challenge any of you to watch this entire YouTube movie, nearly 3 hours' worth. I don't agree with all of it, but it is quite interesting about money/wealth, starting with childhood motivational factors that's rather long and a bit tedious but forms the foundation...

Wow! Oil dropped a lot today on dimming views of the economy.

I think we all knew this already!

...They call it inflation, I call it devaluation.

I call it ripoff.

- got no choice, need gas to run the lawn mower, leaf blower.. car, they don't need a gun, they got me and they know it! lol!
- luckily I don't use oil to heat my house.. heard some horror stories when it comes to heating bills.

How unsurprising is this? Happens to be NJ, but I can see it happening in any state or with the feds.

'New Jersey spent more than $3 million this fiscal year on clothing allowances for white-collar workers who aren't required to wear uniforms, according to a new report from the state comptroller.'

ROTFL typical!!!!

I just found out they put a fertilizer law into effect, I wouldn't have even known about it had I not been on the Rutgers Extension website.

Up here they cant put cow manure on hay/field pastures when there is snow or spring and the snow is melting and flowing every place. Why? Where does it end up? In the rivers and artesian drinking wells.

I think its on the same thinking lines of the Mississippi River, the mouth where it goes into the ocean. Everything is dead. There is a name for it I cant remember.

When I stopped by a Sheetz station in another town several days ago, gas was $3.69... BUT one set of pumps was e85 gas for $3.39. No one was in line for those pumps, and when I cruised by them, I saw huge signs warning of possible engine damage from e85 and signs saying auto warranties being null and void if it was used.

I kept on going, and found a tiny station where I filled up for $3.47. Probably the last of the so-called "cheap(er) gas" I'll ever see.

$4.11/ gal

ouch

... I said something like that.

Double ouch!!

$4.15

geez

Apparently the rush is on to hike it for Memorial Day..

so far we're @$3.89. It went up $ .10.

On a brighter note: I'm swamped with sewing coming in. A good problem to have.

Did you know that the Toyko Elec. company that owns the problem reactors has a big "investment" in the new reactors around San Antonio?

Talked to a friend thats a Certified ASE techie at a GM car dealership. He said that the E-gas ie e85 can only be used in the new or newer cars. He explained it and I have no clue what he said ??

Possible $6.00/ gallon gasoline by end of summer..

Heard that the other day. Definite double dip if that happens. Paid $4.17 upstate!

Crap. I've already canceled my semi-annual check-up and lab/blood tests due in a May visit to my liver docs at UVa because I can't afford the gas. (That's not entirely true: I could afford the gas if I don't eat in May.)

Dang that mouse!!

Oil went up over night to 113 per barrel

that's just nuts!

Price of coffee going through the roof. It's one thing for gas and food to go up, but coffee!!! The true essential.

$4.19/ gal

Coffees been going up for a while now. I was complaining months ago.

Well I went out to fill up at my local station which just raised the price to $4.21 tonight, but it was closed for some reason... so I went to the next gas station which is even farther away from the main streets.

- I was shocked, the next station besides that one is 2 miles away.. four miles total to get gas, so I filled up, I really didn't want to drive 4 extra miles in a foggy night to get gas..

$40 for 8.6 gallons of gas

$4.59 / gal

That's just crazy.

I imagine all those lawn care services that use gas for trimmers and mowers, and trucks to haul their equipt are going to raise their rates too, tractor trailers that haul produce, mail etc.. Looks like they want their six bucks by the end of summer. I hate to think what it will be by Christmas..

That, along with other soaring commodities, will push us back into recession, I'm afraid.

We'll be raising our prices for non contract customers

it is getting crazy!

Towing companies are raising their prices.

NYC cabbies want to as well.

DSIL lost his job yesterday, he and 100 others found the police and bank chairman locking the doors with out any notice. DD just had child # 3 (Charlie) and needed that insurance, please pray he finds another job ASAP.
