Gas prices are SO horrible, I'm mapping out a bus route to work just to see if it's worth switching.
Edit: I might try the bus thing once or twice just for the heck of it, but it just doesn't sound like a great idea at this point, I'd be getting home pretty late plus when I think of emergencies that could come up, it doesn't sound worth it.

"Then my son's house, which I co-signed for, went into foreclosure. Not really his fault"
Of course it is very much his fault. He bought a house that he couldn't afford to pay for. Who else's fault is that. Seeing as they were both mortgage bankers, you can't go blaming the lender for talking them into a loan he couldn't afford. You have to assume he knew exactly what he was getting himself into.
