I just spent 10% of my paycheck on.............

Food, Utility bills, Church, Insurance, Taxes, etc.

That sucks man! But I really don't get a paycheck right now. But If I was working I would use it to pay off credit card bills and food and if I have some left I would probably give it to my mom. I would also buy some music for my ipod too.

I don't have a pay check pal , but I still had to pay £60 to fill my tank, it is daylight robbery xx

i know that the price of fuel had increased so ridiculously lately... and it is really hard for us to cope with it nowadays... but there is nothing really that we can do and we can only hope that the government will do something to fix the situations... for the time beings, we just have to accept it... take care and have a nice day...

I know it was tough making this 1200 mile trip realizing that pretty much for every hour I drive my husband has to work an hour at hard labor. it was a 24 hour trip down here - and I still have to make the 24 hour trip back home. I would have liked to spend that money on paying down our debt or making needed repairs to the house.

Yes, gas prices are out of control these days. I agree that money could have been used on those things that you have mentioned. That reminds me of rent money... It costs so much for a human to live. I hate to see others break their pocket over gas for their car.. It would be very nice to see gas drop back down to $1.70 .. Or maybe $0.97..

Thank god my car is not working these days. I have to fix a leak in the clutch fluid line. If it was working a good fortune would go for fuel in my case too. But coming back to the discussion, I would like to spend it on a digital camera. I need one very badly. But unfortunately I don't think I can save 10% to do that. Everything is very expensive here in Sri Lanka.

Gas prices are unbelieveable!!! I'm so glad I don't drive, and that I live in a city where I can take public ransportation instead of using taxis, which et more and more expensive as the ga prices increase.

I limited my driving. I spend less for gasoline than I used to one year ago. I think twice before I get my car key. I walk first, bike second, I drive when I have to reach far destination. I do my shopping only once a week or I order it with home delivery. I don't spend more than $40 a month on gasoline. I guess because I have the luxury to work from home.

Gas for me used to be around $30 every week or so, it's doubled now! I'd love to be able to put that money aside for my trip to Las Vegas (baby!).

There's a few items of clothing I'd like but you're right the gas price has a lot of us at wits end. I'm told it's only going to get worse. I'm sure the oil/gas industry will break this world, I really believe that.

Deb, I truly feel you there. My car is in need of repairs as we speak and just before it went kaput, I put in $20, worrying how it's going to take me and how long it will last because my income can only go so far. But that very same day, the transmission said bye bye, and it's been parked ever since I had it towed. I never forget something a social worker friend told me and basically she said this. If we got it to where NO ONE buys ANY gas, as well as stop those truckers bringing in the gas, perhaps in our own way, we can bring down these prices. Now that was YEARS ago, but she had a logical suggestion. My thing is as a people as a nation, what besides complaining are we doing to bring these prices down? what can we do? what will we do? Yes, we all have to work, handle business, etc, but it's a darn shame that folks at Meals on Wheels have to discontinue their offerings to the most needy of us, the seniors, then yes, I think we need to do something and soon.

I feel your pain! I was audibly groaning at the pump yesterday! It took over $100 to fill up my truck yesterday. I would rather spend the money on going out to eat, clothes or fabric for sewing. I am trying to drive as little as possible so I can save gas and money at the same time.

It would have been one of my mini-vacations. Just a quick trek to another town or state for a visit. But I'm being more frugal (it should be obvious why -_-) Sigh. If not that then maybe I'd use it to beef up the book, gaming and anime collection.

Hmm... There's a LOT of things I would love to buy. Clothes. Makeup. Hair stuff. Manicures. Pedicures. Laser hair removal. Clothes and toys for my little girl. Vacations. Etc. They all sound like fun, but I can't afford any of it!!!
