My Declining Standard of Living

[AlphaDog]

But, on the bright side, when I bought gas today (first time since Oct 16 when it was $2.959), the price was down to $1.619, and then I get 3% cash back. I might be able to afford to buy groceries this month! At least something is going down besides my buying power. My standard of living has declined so much in the last year that the county I live in now considers me low income. That's not exactly something I spent my life working toward.
