This is the topic of many peoples' conversations today, as gasoline prices continue to climb towards the $4.00 per gallon mark. For those of you who commute to work, just think about this.
If you are an hourly employee and have to drive to your job, sit in traffic, work for a minimum wage and then get into your car and drive back home at the end of the day, you are probably making a lot less money than you think.
I know someone who lives 30 miles away from his job and spends almost as much money to get there and home as what he earns for the day. At $3.50 per gallon, with his car getting 20 miles to the gallon and driving 60 miles round trip, his cost per day for his gasoline is approximately $11.00. His hourly wage is $9.00 (before Uncle Sam takes his share). His boss has just cut his hours back to 5 per day, 6 days a week. His daily pay comes out to $45.00, with his gasoline costing him $11.00 each and every day. His net pay is about $6.00 per hour, and that is going to be even less as gas prices continue to go up.
. For those who are fortunate enough to work from home and have NO commute, the cost of gasoline does not matter. I drive a total of 100-150 miles a week to get my errands done and for recreation, and personally, the cost of the gas that I put in my car is not something I ever have to think about, Take a moment to think about your situation. Do you want to live the way you have been, commuting to a job that, after a long days' work, you just about break even, when you could work form the comfort of your own home and keep your car in the garage? There are people all over the world making money, and lots of it, without walking out their front door. They have an office in their home with a computer and a telephone.
They do not have to wake up to an alarm clock, are able to have breakfast with their children, work in their pajamas, go to the gym when it is not crowded, go to the childrens' school parties and get them off the bus in the middle of the day. They do not even think about how much gasoline costs!
