Sorry, but some thing needs to change soon or else.

There are some that did that last winter, and will probably have be choosing between warmth and heating fuel this winter and a meal. If you think the economy is bad now, wait until that happens. Wages are not keeping up with the increases in what we pay for day to day needs.
I am not on a fixed budget, but I am also salaried so there is no overtime. I know what the DW and I make, and we are in the ever shrinking middle class. To go where we wanted to we budgeted $5, then $6 bucks a gallon for fuel this year, but are starting to look at next year and what it might be then. For those that say sell the RV, take a plane, rent a car, and get a room, all of those are increasing also as their costs have skyrocketed. I will keep RV'ing, but next year probably closer to home, longer stays, less driving, and try to make adjustments in the budget to accommodate the soaring fuel costs.
I was wanting an MKIIG this year, but won't be buying one. I will keep using the radios in my sig until they die, then look for a used rig to replace it with.
