I don't know about you guys, but I'm starting to get really concerned about our current cost of living. We've all seen gas prices rise drastically in the last year or two with no relief in sight. It's so sad to think that one hour of minimum wage work will barely buy one or two gallons of gas for a car. And what about the rising cost of electricity and propane now? We're stuck in a two-year drought with extremely hot temperatures and our utility bills just keep rising! Some people are having to choose between paying their electric bill or buying groceries for their family or buying medicines. The poor farmers are having to sell their cattle because they have no grass and they're running out of hay. Next year we will have a shortage of beef because there will be few baby calves. We'll probably have to pay extreme prices for beef next year in addition to our high gas prices and utility bills! It's getting scary!
