FINDING NEW WAYS
I have got to start finding new ways to get to work the gas prices these days are killing me. I am almost paying more than one hundred dollars a month for gas and that is just to mostly commute to and from work. Forget about going home and to visit my girlfriend, most of the time it costs too much. I should not have to drive around all of the Chicago neighborhoods to find a half way decent price for gas or budget to go anywhere outside of work and home. I remember when it used to take only twenty dollars to fill up my tank, now every time I fill up it seems to cost more and more. It is over sixty dollars to fill my tank now and that is when it is not even completely empty. The worst part of this summer is that the prices are supposed to get even higher. I cannot imagine gas being four dollars or over a gallon. I will need to find a way to earn even more money now just to pay for that. I remember when I worked downtown, I did not fill up my tank but maybe once a month because I took the train everywhere except to see my parents and the girlfriend.
