14. Let's just hope no one remembers pre Russian invasion

Hopefully memories are short and forget the $1.00 per gallon increase over last years cost that came before Russia actually invaded Ukraine.
Listen, I hate to be a Debbie Downer, but my husband drives almost 5,000 miles per month!! He gets the federal fuel allowance, but that unfortunately goes up a lot slower than the price of gasoline does. Thankfully he drives a Hybrid or we would be in lot more of a financial trouble. This year has been tough with this increase. Add the rent increase we also have been handed, and the cost of groceries it's hard to be enthusiastic about the economy.
