Never gonna Stop!

By
Real Estate Agent with ConnectRealty.com

I'm starting to think gas prices are never going to stop rising. I went to fill up yesterday and to fill up my

car it was over 40 bucks!! Lucky for me I have a little car, I feel bad for everyone driving big trucks, not to

mention diesel which is over $5.00 now!! I live in Bellingham, Washington, which is the best place

in the world to live!! Even though I heard we have the 2nd highest gas prices in the U.S.

 How are you dealing with high gas prices??

Trying to plan out my driving routes to get the most tasks done; otherwise, I do not mind a walk.

I work from the home office more than ever now!  Our gas is now $3.95 a gallon, just got back from Washington D.C. where it's 30 cents cheaper!  Hmmmm,, wonder why!  :)

It is ridiculous but Europe has seen these prices all along.

I have a handle on your market!!!

I plan out where I need to go and don't go where I don't need to.  I can remember Europe in the early 70's and their gas prices were at this level and higher then.

I wonder if they are laughing or empathizing.

I bought a smaller car when they first hit $3.00 because I realized I drive 90% of the time alone. I kept my SUV for when I have a customer. These prices will make selling homes, more important to get an agency agreement signed or make them pay for the taxi ride. LOL.

Working from home is the way to go for now.  I can't afford going back and forth to the office - even if it's near!  Minimize the driving and try to arrange things so that you don't go back and forth.

I drive my Honda Civic and not my Larger Vehicle, and I don't fill up my tank anymore , I find if it,s in the tank you will use it faster.

If you think working from home is the way to go...Your right!! And If your working from home your wasting a lot of hard earned $$$ paying for an office, franchise fees, etc. There for you need to look into this great new company with NO DESK FEES, NO FRANCHISE FEES, work from home be provided all the support, technology, everything you need to be successful just with out all the fees. Take a look let me know what you think!!!   THE FUTURE OF REAL ESTATE!!!

Andy - That is a pain many have been feeling for years in other country.  I think the price of heating oil is going to be worrisome next winter.

Why would the oil companies lower the price when they know we will keep paying?
