A friend reached out today asking for help buying her mom a car. Apparently she "had" to move an hour away from work (she makes good money as a nurse), but her vehicle gets 15 MPG.

Funny how when gas is cheap for 3 years, people buy tanks, but once it crosses $3 everyone wants to get a Prius. Do people not realize fuel prices fluctuate? Anyone whose budget depends on stabil fuel prices is doing life wrong.
