You know with the rise in gas pricing it is hard to get out with friends and family. If you are not careful, you could stretch yourself money thin. This is not something that you really want to do.
Something that I thought about today, and I have talked it over with the wife and she is ok with it. We are just going to do one event a weekend. First come first serve more than likely. I know I have a camping trip again to Cheaha in a few weeks, so I will have to reserve time for that.
What brought this was that we had plans this weekend to hang out with some friends from Moondance that we do not normally get to hang out with. Although they are moving closer now. We planned earlier this week to hang out at a hookah bar, it turns out that we will just hang out at their house. Well another friend of mine, yall know him as Kevin, got back from the beach and wanted us to go and have dinner with him. Because plans were already made with other friends we thought about doing it on Sunday.
Neither of us, me or Kevin, really care to stress ourselves out on money. You may have the gas, but not the money for food. If you do, you may not have it later on in the week when you need it. Bills still have to be paid. So we agreed to try again next weekend. So right now, if nothing pops up, we will hang out with Kevin, wife, and child next weekend.
I feel that just doing one event a weekend will save us money over all and still allow us to do things. You can’t over do things, but we do not want to just sit home and do nothing. You still have to enjoy life as much as you can.
What are somethings that you have done to cut back so that you can pay the rising gas bill?
