Saving Cents With Sense

MAY 26, 2014

When economic conditions started deteriorating in late 2008, the prices of both gold and silver began to skyrocket. When crude oil prices more than tripled from 2004 to 2008, so did the price of an ounce of silver. Further, both precious metals continue to serve as reliable hedges against inflation.

In 2004 when we were researching policies, we weren’t parents yet, but fully intended on having children. It really deserves a whole separate post and if today’s insurance environment was the same as 2004 I might explain further, but it’s not, so I’ll move on. We would need to find another policy for 1/1/16.

Don’t believe anyone when they say drilling will bring down gas prices right away; it won’t. While the number of drilling permits issued has increased by something like 360% over the last 10 years, gas prices have tripled during the same period. More drilling does not equal lower prices at the pump. Yes, a barrel, not a gallon.

I have a 2004 Toyota Corolla. I once had a salesperson try to get me interested in a higher priced vehicle because of the stylish nature of the car and the ravishing body color. If I don’t remember where I parked when I walk into a parking lot, it could literally be hours before my car is discovered.
