Gives me a way to get rid of all that excess disposable income that I don't know what to do with.
Gas Prices...

Same here. Plus I had to cut back on hookers and blow.
Have you tried owning a boat?
I'm gonna have to start towing mine around with one of my skiffs.

Yeah, had a few in my day, but it just doesn't get rid of enough. Trying to find a new hobby. Ideas?

It's the only thing that makes working with him bearable. Especially since he cut waaaaay back on beer.

In my household, all the shifting has come from putting all household renovations on a firm hold - even the really needed ones like some plumbing fixes. And cancelling both trips to seeing grandparents this summer. We've always lived within our means so when we say we're taking a vacation, it was usually just a couple states away to grandma's. We've never been a cruise/Disney/Myrtle Beach family. Now even grandma's is off the table, and so is any day trip around the state.
Basically we've been working, and coming home. One trip a week to the grocery store, and only essentials at that. Our shifting has meant anything outside of absolutely necessary isn't happening. There is no luxury happening in our "middle class" family right now. We both drive basic, but larger vehicles, but they're also paid off and we used to easily afford the gas/maintenance for them, plus little family luxuries here and there. It went from that, to affording nothing outside essentials within a year.
I'm not loudly boo-hoo-ing because at least I can afford the base essentials. There are more folks who's path to self independence has been ground to a halt.
See? Just like razor and hemirhoid said..you are clearly quite happy with the new gas prices.
Not to worry... Joe and AOC appreciate their sacrifice for the planetary transition to Ethereal Energy.
I just sent a message to my cousin there to see if she and her husband are driving them.
Cool. BTW, about 95% of their electricity is generated by hydroelectric plants. Good luck getting the environmentalists to allow building enough dams to generate that much in the U.S.

Just living the dream.
uh ..yeah... Been working (and even living) there for 35 years now. ;-)
Hydroelectric plants are being dismantled here in the US. Deliciously ironic that the largest tear-down project will cut off most of California's electricity that was being provided by hydroelectric plants.
I've seen the alternative-energy freaks include hydro in their definition of what is in the alternative energy mix we're all supposed to happy to transition to. Completely oblivious of the fact that there will never be more significant hydroelectric plants built in the US..only less of them than we have now.
