Why are we so concerned with fuel prices?

Discussion in 'Ask An Owner Operator' started by blairandgretchen, Mar 6, 2022.

Will increased fuel costs put you out of business?

    Congrats!
    My wife wanted three. We waited a bit too long. We are in early 40s, so we feel like we're done. Our oldest is going to college this year. We need to add for college tuition to the mix.
    It's best to do it when your kid/s are still young if you're planning on of having more. So, you don't have to go through the same stages all over again. The older you get, you have less patience for diaper changes, parental conferences, etc. until you become a grandparent. LOL

    Thanks buddy I appreciate it. Our son is 5 and we already feel a little lost on what to do for this next one. lol.

    We went and bought a crib and dresser today. It was hard to find anything in stock and ended up driving over an hour away to get them.

    I do wish we would have been less responsible in our eyes and got started at least 5 years earlier but am very thankful for what we do have.

    @Ruthless i get what you are saying and agree.

    but

    our point of view is of an Ant looking up to a human and getting caught in his path of destruction as he walks in a field of flowers. Yet he looks down and sees only a tiny damage if any at all.


    the issue is we complain because we are the ants but once we become the human in this scenario we want everything to work for us and not the ants.

    same as the one person here quoting, once people start paying taxes they most likely become republicans.

    I remember a year or two back we had discussions of about regulating brokers. Many were against it and I was for it. Sometimes when things get a bit to big maybe just maybe we should regulate it a bit.

    I did miss a lot. I didn’t realize how special that time was. I’d definitely take more advantage of the time when they were little, but I don’t wanna have to deal with the teenage years again.
