I hit a bit of a psychological barrier last week and it threw me into a bit of a funk. I hope I'm adjusting out of it, but am a little depressed about how our habits will have to change (i.e. less money for savings).
Gas crossed the $4 mark for us last week and for some reason, it was psychologically much worse for me than paying even 15 cents less/gallon. It's kind of hit the point where I wonder if it will ever stop. Talk is of $7/gallon gas here, but hopefully that is just fear talking.
After buying gas I went to the grocery store, and honestly was a little surprised by how many of my regular items were twice the price they were a month or two ago. We're going to have to rethink/rework our diet a little and try to be as frugal as when DH was unemployed- problem is that the stuff we survived on then is all the stuff that is through the roof price-wise.
I know we'll get through it, but right now I just feel like I've lost my bearings.
