WHAT DO I DO NOW?

Have you noticed that a day doesn't go by that there isn't a news flash about the rising price of gasoline. Today, the average price of gasoline is over $3.82--higher in New York and California, of course. It is 30 cents higher than a month ago and $1 higher than a year ago. In fact, the price of gasoline is up 20% this year and keeps on climbing. Of course, we all feel its effects. I read where this couple in New Jersey who own a Toyota Prius, still have to cut back on their travel and have stopped their club workout memberships in order to save money. (She's an attorney, by the way.) The point that I'm trying to make is that the majority of us are reacting rather than being proactive. Why? Because we feel that the price of gas will decline to normal levels? They won't. Oh, the price will fluctuate, but the reality is that oil is a finite product and it's end is now in sight. Compare that with the sun or wind, both sources of energy that have no end. All of us need to rethink our priorities and start being proactive is preparing for a future without a infinite supply of gasoline. Think hard about it.
