Some people have to decide between groceries or the heating bill payment this week for a long time. The current gas prices are now adding to this mental, weekly essentials budget.
Be thankful for what you have.

You never know someone’s story. It’s very sad to see. We are lucky that our problem is: should l leave the house and spend $$ today or stay in and save $$?

Enough to get him to the next gas station!
Much of the world pays a lot more in gas prices due to taxation or refining costs. It’s not that bad, frankly, and especially those of us who drive small vehicles
LS1 Copenhagen and Aarhus have decent systems but try taking a bus to the factory where you work, which in many cases doesn’t exist. For most of Denmark, unless you’re in the city of Copenhagen or Aarhus, you need a car. That car comes with 180% tax on top of a 25% VAT.
When I was a teenager, me and my friends nearly ran out of gas. Pulled into the station and literally dismantled the car seats to find change to buy gas. $0.28 later, we were on the road again.
Gas was probably $1/gallon back then. I’m old.

Just walk a mile, you may find them
Growing up i remember my mum and I only EVER fuelling up to $10 (early 2000s not USD). JUST enough to get us around for most things we genuinely needed back then. Always walked to the shops, school, etc. I didn't realise it then but she was scrimping and saving like crazy at the time wherever she could, and that helped my parents build what they have today.
The magic with my parents was that my siblings and i never really felt like we didn't have what we wanted. I just don't remember us wanting much to begin with (especially compared to today).
Whoever this is... they're focusing on the basics. Hopefully they build up too over time. It's tough out there y'all. Have some compassion.
Sorry if that's an overshare. This post just reminded me about it. Hadn't rapt thought about that experience before until seeing this.
Probably someone filling up a gas can.
If we didn’t vote for the guy who started a war with Iran, then the transgenders… or the immigrants… or someone… was gonna do… something
Someone else’s struggle is your entertainment. You sound like a great person 🫡
