Anyone Cancelling Truck Camper Trips Due to Fuel Prices?
Please, no political comments. We have a 5,000 mile trip planned with reservations made, but we are reconsidering due to fuel prices. 60 cents per mile for diesel is pretty bad.

The polls are saying most people don't think they are doing well now. I can't think of any reason why some would think that most people are doing well now. Maybe they aren't paying attention.
Perception vs reality are often different.
It feels bad when you drop $100 filling the tank vs the $50 you paid a year ago. So people perceive things as bad.
That doesn’t seem very different. If you are making a lot more money than a year before, that’s great.
However, most people including retired people aren’t getting 100% pay raises. In those cases, perception and reality are the same.
Of course, you can argue that it is all part of a good plan, but many people don’t agree that it’s a good plan.
Note: it’s not about me. I’m doing ok. However, the people who are living paycheck to paycheck are not.
