Im really worried about the increase in energy prices.i live alone and am scared how much i will be affected.? i wouldnt say i use a lot of energy as i work full time and usually eat out or at my parents house.do you think i am worrying over nothing or will i be swamped by massive bills?

jenny one of the real viable solution%26#039;s to the energy thing is a return to the %26#039;family tribe%26#039; the more people that share common resources the less energy we will use as individuals.

yes; worry, you and everyone in this culture will have their hands full dealing with this. the profit motive is still king.

Take a breath, you%26#039;ll do fine. Just don%26#039;t get caught up in the illusion that we all need to live in luxury with expensive purses, $400 shoes, and all that other jazz. Do your own research on where you can get the best bargains in your area. Flea markets, discount stores, etc, will save you money if you do your research right. Life can be simple and worry-free, even in tough times like these.

its everyones worry....my home heat went from 2000 a year to 3000...hard to just pull that out of my pocket....gas 40 a week to 80,,,, i went to supermarket yesterday... oranges were 3 for a dollar...now 2 for a dollar...unreal.

This is what happens when we have no comsumer protection like we did in the 70%26#039;s...we are all in the same situation and the lower incomes get hit the hardests...last winter we wore more cloths indoors to keep the heat down..

AND YOU EAT AT YOUR PARENTS...

no really, ride this little sucker till the wheels fall off.
