SOMEbody's making a mint, and it isn't me!

I think there should be some kind of mandated cost of living adjustment on everyone's income, whether from employment, or other sources.

I can't keep living on this income when the price of everything keeps rising rapidly.

Now our power company wants to raise their rates.. gee right after a farily cool winter where the a/c wasn't needed so much and right as the sweltering and humid summer season begins where we turn on the a/c and it runs non-stop til about October. The timing is fairly suspect.

One tip I've heard a few times is to buy gas in the coolest part of the day, because it expands when it's hot so you get more if you buy/pump when it's cooler. I don't know if it's true or not, but where I am 'cool' is not necessarily part of any day.
