Gas Prices and Product Costs vs. Service Costs
Gas. Most of us need it. Some of us have it. Not everyone can afford it.
Hey, focus - this is a business blog, not a gastrointestinal blog. I’m talk’n the liquid stuff our cars run on
Seriously though, lately every community here in the states have been experiencing rising gas prices which in turn causes the price of products to rise. Trust me, truckers aren’t going to take all the hit. If it costs $1000 more to get that product to your local grocery store, the freight company is going to pass that cost to the store who will in turn pass that cost on to you, the consumer.

But do increases in your paycheck work the same?
Uh no, they most certainly do not.
This means you make the same amount of money but have to spend a whole hell of a lot more to drive, eat, drink, and well, live.
An interesting thing happens here.
