We just paid $3.23 a gallon for heating oil.
Sit with that for a minute: $3.23 a gallon for heating oil.
We're not wealthy people; if the survey results this summer are right, few of you out there are, either. We don't believe in credit card debt and we have a small emergency fund but not a huge one. We've been crushed by extreme medical bills, twice, and we've managed to claw out from under.
And now this.
We're lucky that we can do it--this time. But what about next time, when heating oil might be up over $4 a gallon? What about all the folks who can't afford it? This is going to be a long, cold winter for a lot of people.
