Oh, man. It seems the week I was gone, everything has just escalated! Gas, food, oil, etc. I was actually optimistic about adding more money to savings at the beginning of the year, but those hopes are slowing dissolving. And I consider myself as someone who is "doing okay". I can't imagine how some people are managing!

Edited to add: I just turned the heat down 4 more degrees. (February oil bill was MORE than a paycheck!)
