I really don't care anymore about things I can only change every couple years, like voting, but win or lose, I'll buy the gas. It's the last 1/4 of my life...IDC!

My solution to high gas prices.
But isn't the price of oats going up too?
One of the reasons I retired. Getting rid of that 450 miles per week commute made it possible for me to retire 6 years ago.

I LOVE RETIREMENT!
Happened just in time for me too, but I do like to cruise the ol' gas guzzler into town every now and then.
Most of the rest of my time I spend in front of my TV just relaxing or something.
Best car/truck/guitar color of all time.

Quitting work was so much fun, i went back to work so i could do it again. Thankfully twice was enough.
Thank You.
Just realized that as of March 29, I've owned that thing 27 years!
Guy I bought it from said his teenage daughter picked out the color.
I get lots of complements on that color, but personally I would have prefered darker blue.
Guess I ain't going to change it anytime soon though, being retired and feeding that thing Premium gas, even on occasion, cuts into my ammo purchases.
I go where I want, prices notwithstanding. Can't take it with you.

I would guess that the average person would lose more in income then the savings gained.
I broke my leg in the back yard on the Ides of March. I won't be driving until mid May maybe. I'm saving a ton of money!

Is that a '71 or a '72?
When I was calculating my potential retirement I determined I would have a net loss of $20 a month. I said to myself, "Self, I think I can squeeze 20 bucks a month somewhere. We're out of here!"

Since retirement we are trying to save money. At the same time my wife is on a health kick. She exercises by riding her horse.
So far its working out well. Her horse has lost 15 pounds.

Chip, is that the proverbial "flat rock"?
I went out with a lady once that had the biker name Flat Rock. Guess how she got it?

I was planning to retire this year at 67, but this inflation is scaring the **** out of me. We have a diversified stock portfolio ( which made us nothing last year ) savings, and my military retirement, no debt except a little on the house.
At an ACTUAL 10 to 12 percent inflation rate for the foreseeable future, we could be in a bind in a couple of years.
