Well if a local track racing championship is that important to you, you will have to better budget other things or get a 2nd job.

Everyone bitches with zero action or changes in their lifestyle.

The bottom line is people need to learn to live within their means. And realistically gas is still fairly cheap based on the incomes people make.

10 years ago when I was in HS…gas was 98 cents a gallon and Min wage was 4.15 I think.

Now gas is 3.65 and min wage is 7.25 I think :gotme:

Everything is increased at a fairly equal ratio
