Back when gas was a dollar…

Someday I’ll get to be the crotchety old lady yelling at the grandkids about the good old days.
Solo Mother kindly reminded us this week of the astronomical cost of raising children til they’re fully cooked, for a reason other than just torture of course. Luckily, ha, falling at the lower income end it’ll probably be more like $148,320 than the 200k+. Life still feels like it’s inflating at record speed it makes my head spin.
I thought of these numbers as I fed my child 3 times so far today. Also quite glad I got the whole turkey not just the turkey breast to make for dinner today, so I can have some too. Growing again it seems, all fine and good until the groceries start evaporating! Thank goodness for beef coming again soon from the family, not a growth spurt too soon.

LOL I remember when gas was cheap. I’m about to move closer to work and the kid’s school, and we’ll be able to walk everywhere. Paying more rent, but the quality of life is so much better.
Thanks for the link love!
