How have the increasing gas prices
impacted your budget?

It depressed me. The raising of the prices is too quick. In order for me to get to work I got to go for the okie-doke.

At $4.89 a gallon … a lot! I can’t even buy my laptop!

In my situation it’s not the gas that affects me, it’s the oil; but I do sympathize with those who drive.

It makes me not want to drive. If I get a car I would have to pay twice as much for gas. I’m already paying $15 a week just to ride the bus.

Fortunately, I walk to work. Most everything I do during the weekday is local. But I realize there are people with no choice whether to buy food or gas.

The budget I set [in the recent past] won’t work now because I have to take money I saved to use for gas today.
