It's only money.

My tractor died last night while mowing. The new part was $55.

My car got hit and I'm still hoping it will cost me nothing other than inconvenience, but it's not fixed yet. I have to fill out a heinous multi-page accident report for the state.

My running shoes for road training are shot. A call to Road Runner Sports just cost me $266 (3 pairs of shoes).

My driveway needs some repairs before the snow flies. I'm afraid to even get the cost estimate.

I need new snow tires for my car.

We have 8 cords of firewood on order ($1600+)

The side of grass-fed beef I bought last summer is about gone, and it's time to order another, despite a 10% price increase. I guess grass growing in the sun costs more this year.

My son needs new skis sometime this fall.

I think I need a 3rd job or a change in lifestyle.

Hey, but gas is under $4/gallon - only about 2.7 times the price we paid when Chucklehead took office.
