Buses, subways, and light rail trains are a viable and green way to get around. While gas is not currently at an all time high, it is still expensive. Is your method sustainable?

A few years ago, I made it my personal obsession goal to see if I could completely pay for our Disney trips with “free money” and I’ve accomplished that goal every year but once (I was only a couple hundred dollars short). Gas = $350. tanks of gas for us to get to my sisters (we’ve made this trip 20+ times).

Given the insane gas prices we’re facing lately (plus, we’re headed into construction season which means a longer, more convoluted commute), let’s give a generous estimate that you fill your car for $55 twice a month. That’s 110 of your hard-earned dollars being funneled directly into your gas tank.
