Welcome to America. Land of the free. Where you are free to do anything you want, except you have to drive everywhere. Which means you have to purchase a car, insurance, and gas.

Not to mention as the cost of living goes up, minimum wage just sits there...

Everyday I am thankful to have a job even though I don't get paid as much as I should. I am thankful I live close to my job and have options such as public transit, biking, walking, and driving if needed.

Once gas becomes completely unaffordable, we as a country will be screwed.
