I mean if you’re spending all your money on gasoline then you won’t any money left so when you think about it, it’s no different from not earning money.

This is just an sardonic irony conclusion however it looks like people will see that there is no difference from working and not working since either way there won’t be any money around.
I was just asking because apparently that is what’s happening to some people so for them to still choose to fork out so much cash for gasoline that burns fast for having luxury vans are naive.

I make to drive to work all the time….
I’m pretty lucky to have a 3 minute commute on my bicycle to work. I really feel for those of you that have major commutes in your cars.
um…………………………………………………….
trade in your car and buy a hybrid or something… or get a higher paying job.
just get a motor scooter! or convince everyone not to buy gas!! how fun would that be!
I would suggest you keep working. Unless you can work from home for your company.
best answer is live very close 2 work so u dont have 2 drive.
ya in a way ur right but
hey who said life was easy
True, as gas prices rise more and more. People are going to start asking when is it no longer beneficial to drive to work. They will either look for a new job, find another means of getting to and from work, or move to a closer location to cut the commute.
If all your earnings went to paying your gasoline bill, then it wouldn’t make sense to have a job. Thankfully, most of us aren’t at that point. What can you do? Move closer to work, or find a job closer to home. Ride public transportation, or car pool with someone.
buy a bike.. && scooters are becoming all the rage!
Take the bus!!
Walk or bicycle!
Many more options.
“… this is just an sardonic irony conclusion…” - have you been watching the prison skits from In Living Color?
Your composition is muddled and inaccurate. I disagree completely as a 60 mile daily commutor
If all your making is enough money to buy gas then you need to get a new job.
my parents have money they make from work. They make a lot more then what they spend on gas. It isn’t ironic if you make more then you spend. People need to get smaller cars if they’re spending all their money on gas because to be honest gas isn’t effecting the way me or my parents live. We have small cars that can get 20mp gallon.
well the gas prices are a record high and it would be more logical for you to either take public transport to get to work or even car pool. doing this will not only help you save money but it will also help save our planet.
you pay for gas to get to work to make money to pay for the car and pay for the gas to get to work to make money to pay for the car and it just goes in circles - its absurd
yea, if you can bus to work, it’s way cheaper.
Depends how far you work and how much money you make. Hopefully you should still have money left over after paying for gas.
Gas has gone up .50 cents a gallon in the past 2 months - for a 14 gallon tank that is $7.00 per week or about $350.00 per year. If you are only earning $7.00 a week then you need to get a new job.
Why don’t you carpool instead? That way, you could charge
a few co-workers say like $10.00 per person for gas and it
wouldn’t cost alot of money to travel to work and back.
try this on for size, it sure saved me. Now I save on gas and I am making real good money. 2Rucker.Neverpayforfuel.com
it’s possible that it’ll make more people move back to the core city areas like people did live until the suburban boom that came following world war 2. i ride my bicycle to work nowadays & also
use the bus whenever i get around to it,granted it’s because i happen to be so poor as it is this year.
I don’t see how some young people are making it. Especially with young children of their own. Between gas and childcare its got to be ruining so many.
I take the bus every day which saves gas, oil changes and parking. I save about $250 a month taking the bus. It is very worth it.
I commute roughly 65 miles round trip every day. If I have to go to the corporate office, its 160 miles round trip. The skyrocketing prices aren’t pinching me yet. By my rough calculations gas would have to get has high as $7 to even begin to pinch me significantly.
..and it isn’t a hybrid… ‘06 Toyota Corolla.
It’s nice owning a car w/ automatic that gets 35mpg in the city, 41mpg if I drive REAL easy.
