The High Cost of Living

Tired of paying over $3.00 for gas? Feel like you’re being robbed? Ok, no argument here. I don’t like paying so much for it either, but I do like the convenience of my car. I got to thinking, though, about other things that I might be paying too much for. Right now a gallon of [...]
