Gosh, this economy is SUCKING right now! The cost of fuel is causing prices for everything else to rise, which means less disposable income to spend on children's furniture and massages (my two sources of income).
So, what's a girl to do? I have been cutting back on entertainment for awhile now... not eating out as much, not playing golf at all (unless it's free), etc., but those cutbacks aren't going to be enough in the face of dwindling cash flow.
For that reason, I've have decided to step up my game... I am discontinuing my pool and lawn service, as well as my rarely-used gym membership (savings of $280 right there), and am going to plant my own vegetable garden to help cut down on that grocery bill.
Think about it, how does the produce get to the store? How is it harvested? All of those things take fuel, and fuel prices are what's killing us right now... by growing my own produce (carrots, beets, sweet potatoes, beans, lettuce, squash, etc.), I will not only be "saving the planet", I will be saving myself a TON of money and have a better quality of food to consume.
Now, let's just hope I have a green-thumb hidden somewhere within me.
