As the grouse and others have said:
You can figure out other savings to make up for gas if you need to. But let me know how you’re going to buy more time.
I certainly will not let the price of gas affect my “tomorrow”.
My wife and I will turn 70 this year. A year and a half ago I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. Thankfully God has allowed the chemo treatments to stop the progression for now and we are able to continue with our fishing trips, 5 booked so far this summer to LOTW and Canada
The main message I guess is you can be blindsided with something like this in a heartbeat, so try not to take tomorrow for granted. If at all possible don’t let the political BS fallout change what you love to do, for as long as you can do it.
