Yesterday it cost me $45.00 to fill up my car. I usually don't put gas in my car anymore, Andrew does that for me, but yesterday I was running on fumes so I stopped. I hear people complain about the cost of gas all the time, and this includes Andrew, but I never really pay attention to the complaints until yesterday!
The whole episode got me to thinking about all the things I could have bought with that money.
For $45.00, I could have:
* bought a nice pair of shoes
* paid my water bill
* paid half of my electric bill
* bought groceries
* went out to dinner at a NICE restaurant
* bought necessities at Wal-greens (which I did yesterday right after I bought gas!)
* bought a new pair of jeans
* bought a new purse
* if I smoked, bought two cartons of cigarettes
* bought cable for a month!
Very interesting, but such is life. I can honestly say that I MUST be getting old, because I thought to myself (while I was pumping gas) I REMEMBER THE TIME WHEN IT ONLY COST ME $15.00 TO FILL UP MY TANK WITH GAS. Those were the days, I digress.
