2 years ago, I wrote a blog for a now debunked collaborative blogging site about the rise in gas prices ( at the time that we were mad as hell about $2.19/gal) and what do you know....... I come across the hard copy my post right on it's 2 year anniversary of its' debut. Perfect reason and time to add it here.....
When gas goes $5 a gallon, what will you do?
You may have heard many reasons of why the hike in gas prices.
We are at war and war costs money.
We are running out of oil.
The Middle East controls the prices.
Does it really matter to you why? Every reason that can be given or speculated upon revolves around things that you basically cannot control. We all have seen the emails about not buying gas on a particular day or not buying gas from Exxon and Mobil. How effective have these ideas been so far? We are paying record setting prices for gas and the situation, for whatever reason, is not getting any better for us.
Robert Kiyosaki, best selling author and investor, wrote “Higher oil prices are not caused by a lack of financial education; they are caused by greedy self-interests and a lack of financial vision. Although we have the technology and alternative energy resources to replace oil, we have not done so. As a nation and a world, we will suffer financially because of this greed and lack of vision.”
Many businessman and financial teachers, such as Robert, believe that the nation is on a course of financial turmoil within the next few years when the nation will have to honor the empty promises to retirement, social security, and 401(k) to the first set of baby boomers that will be retiring soon. One of these horrible revelations is the escalation of crude oil prices.
Donald Trump paints the picture by saying to a fellow investor, “If gasoline costs $5 at the pump, it does not affect [you] me that much. But if you’re earning $10 an hour, then $5 a gallon will take food from your family.”
We will see the day the oil goes $100 per barrel, or $5 at the pump, and I believe it is better to be proactive.
So, will you sit and wonder and debate why? Because the rich won’t. Nor will they be affected that much by it.
What will you do?
I was so proper and concise back then......lmao.
