It’s so difficult dealing with the inflation levels right now. Gasoline went up by 30 cents in my section in the Last year alone. I thought the two of us had seen the late-pandemic gasoline price increases, however this Russo-Ukrainian war and the sanctions on Russian oil are just making the situation much worse. I’m still in favor of this ban, but I can’t lie about the terrible situation making my wallet hurt even more than it was before. If I had to commute everyday to work, I would feel utterly helpless right now. I guess a substantial chunk of my paycheck would be going to paying for gas and heating by itself, and now it seems love that expense is inevitably going to get even more high-priced as time goes on. It won’t be possible to justify traveling at all for anything beyond absolute vitals. Another big expense of mine that recently went up in price is Heating and advanced Air Conditioning components and supplies. My Heating and advanced Air Conditioning supplier hasn’t increased the cost of their service yet, however the filters I buy for my cooling system from the local hardware store are a full $5 more than they were many years ago. This is a big pill to swallow because I try to substitute my cooling system filter every two months. I have a lot of allergies while having chronic asthma, so it’s vital for me to wash cooling system filters as much as humanly possible. Some have told me to use the washable Heating and Air Conditioning airflow filters, however those are notorious for harboring black mold and diminishing a single’s air quality in the process. Many of them are terrible at air filtration as well, so I’d rather put my faith in a service that I believe will labor regardless of its increased price.
