Gas prices

I love high gas prices. I get to stop by the gas station once a week and laugh at the morons filling up their huge SUVs.

It is a slight inconvenience for me. I do drive 35 miles each way to work. But, I drive a Toyota Camry. If I drive it right, it can get 31 mpg (about twice what these gas guzzlers get). So, overall my gas cost has gone up only about $8-$10 per week.

Then again, I don't have a mortgage on a house I cannot afford. I don't have spoiled children who hate me because I tried to buy their love rather than make time to spend with them. I don't have credit card debt up to my eyeballs. I don't have a payment for a status symbol SUV.

I live well within my means. Truth be told, I live on half of my post-tax pay. The rest goes into savings, 401k and IRA.

How many of you can say that?
