Credit Cards
You see them everywhere, don't you? The ads for them are very profuse: 0 interest credit card, citi credit cards, 0 apr credit card, and so forth. These devices can be very useful, but they can also be very dangerous. You know how it goes, Oh...I'll buy this now...and pay for it later. Then, your car breaks down, or you get laided off from your job. My personal favorite is when the IRS seized all my personal assets...oh, nevermind about that. Anyway, you get the point. My advice is to just pay cash for everything! Sure, this can be difficult to do, but give it a shot. Just beware of the apply credit card, and 0 apr credit card and all other credit cards offer.

Gas prices have gone down...a bit
Hi all! Well, gas prices have come down a bit over the past 2 weeks or so. Funny how that works. My theory is that they will climb again soon. The Fourth of July is right around the corner, and people will be driving around to see the fireworks, have cookouts, and be with their friend and family. I'm sure the gas stations will be busy with all the traveling going on. The sodas will sell, as will water, beer, and juices and sports drinks. Some of these companies will no doubt try to sell gas gift cards, or offer special deals on gas credit cards. I'm not falling for that gimmick...(again).
As some of you know, I'm pushing ethanol. It sure is funny how the cost to the consumer isn't mentioned anywhere these days. Several years ago, it was projected that it would cost us $1.80 a gallon for ethanol as fuel. Well, the last price I saw for gasoline was $2.95, here in Ohio. I wouldn't mind saving that $1.15 a gallon, even though my mileage would only be about 80% as good. Let's see, 120 % of $1.80 is $2.16 for comparable mileage. I think I could live with paying $2.16 a gallon, what about you? Well, maybe I should just buy my own gas station. They are very lucrative, you know. They make money from food, cigarettes, and beverages on top of the fuel. Yes, maybe that's what some of us need to do. Then we can screw over the little guys...Oh...and don't forget your gas card!
I'm just kidding about that, as you should know. Well, that's all for now.
Bye
