Mainer, there’s two sides to that though. Remember when oil went down to $20 a barrel a couple years back? I do, cause I had to file for part time unemployment, and thank god my wife was working or we wouldn’t have been able to eat. Everyone else was celebrating low prices at the pump, we lived paycheck to paycheck eating Ramen
Isn't that the nature of the oil industry, boom and bust?
Probably wise to stash some cash away in the good times, to have it in the lean times?
I too live paycheck to paycheck, so when gas goes up, I feel the pinch.
