time vs. saving money

Have you heard about the radio stations that have free gas offers here and there throughout the US? I listened to a lady say she went at 2am in the morning to wait for 10 gallons of free gas. She will wait for about 10 hours in her car to get her free gas. Is it really that worth it? KNX would have done better to do a promo show that gave $40 gas gift cards in my opinion, but that’s probably why they don’t ask me.

Gas prices will still continue to rise at least for the next few days, if not weeks. I gotta think that there has to be better ways for Americans to beat this problem. Gas is so high right now that even food is being used to create fuels and doing a double whammy on all of us with regards to food prices.

I saw that Gold and Silver prices are also once again taking off this week. Our government broadcasted a shortage on gas supplies and President Bush’s recent trip to Saudi Arabia to try to bring the price of oil down was unsuccessful. It at least shows that he is trying to address the issue, but most analyst knew it wouldn’t help. The fact of the matter is that we need address our dying dollar. That is the core problem to everything we experience. Address the dollar issue, our other problems will fix themselves. It may take a few years for the ship to turn, but we need to start the turn.

The same goes with our lives. If we are living paycheck to paycheck, we need to start a turn to head in a different direction. It may take a bit for the affects to be seen, but know it will be well worth it. I think of it like dieting. It takes a lot of suffering in the beginning, but working the plan will help to get you back on track and the result will be well worth it.
