I pay a small country club bill a month. I don't pay green fees. I don't pay for cart rental. I dont pay for anything out there other than an occasional bite to eat to meet the monthly assesment for food and beverage. A whopping 25.00. Total for all the golf I want to play in a month , plus a pool , tennis and raquet ball is 150.00. I put that and more away already a month.

Whats the tax free price of gasoline in the US at the moment? it's about $ 2,19/gal here. At the lowest in 2006 it was $ 1,63/gal

  the $400 bucks a month I've been putting into a SEP for 5 years is worth about 18k- You do the math.
 That does'nt include the  the ROTH account I started this year.
  Or the CD's that are getting 4.5 % for 9 months.
 The point I was was trying to make was that if you never "see the Money" in your hand, you won't have a chance too spend it.
 BTW- Both of my patents are dead, and I live with my Wife.
O, and I've been self employed for 10 years.

ok, my guess is that your wife is the major bread winner.. am I wrong there too?

or maybe an inheritance? somehow, someway the 15.5k a year ain't the whole story...unless you and the wife live in a box under a bridge somewhere

I know about "never see the money", my company matches 66 cents on the dollar for the first 10% of their fidelity 401k plan ... been in that for a while

still don't see what this has to do with getting it up the arse at the pump

Yeah, isn't that darling. While even the average rich guy is getting ****ed up the ass. Forget about the average working man.

Wow...nice retirment.

Thats only 5,714,285.71 barrels of oil at 70.00 a barrel.

But we're not supposed to wonder huh. Supply and demand. Thats all it is.

Gas too high?

Let me get a handle on this.  We Can't try to stabilize the nuts in the Middle East so we have a decent supply of oil.

We Can't drill in Alaska because of the Mooses, yet the Middle East is Nuts and we can't stabilize them.

We Can't all be forced to ride Bikes like they do in China because, well, we're Americans and we just flat out Don't Want To.

So the gas is what it is.  Don't like it? Step Up, Buy a Chevron station and be Morally Superior and Give the stuff away, Or, let the oil Flow and hush.

5.7 million barrels... that is equivalent to .156 % of the US annual oil imports.

Why if he bought oil with that and gave it away, we would have free gasoline until about 1:40 pm January 1.

That's why I'm tryin to get my wife to buy a nice new economical small car instead of an SUV or even a used econobox.  The new ones are waaay more efficient than cars built even 2-3 years ago.

I of course, will continue to drive my trans-am and will probably eventually replace it with a vette or something equally horrible.  It's all about karmic balance
