Cost of Living...

....Last night I found our budget for when we bought the house back in March of 2005.

When taking the following into account:

Heating Oil
Gas
Homeowners Ins
Property Taxes
Electric

Our budget has increased almost $6000!!!!! And our usage has GONE DOWN!!!!!!!!!!

I didnt even get into food!!!!!Or the other utilities!!!!!!

The cost of heating oil...was $1.89 per gallon!!!!! My Electric was half the price and I used more THANK YOU LIPA for that surcharge !!!!

Looks we'll be eating a lot of Kraft Dinner!!!

Yes, it is sad. The middle class is slowly sinking deeper and deeper into this abyss of the economy.

This is why we moved out of NY. No mac & cheese for us, yet.
