The idea is troubling to me. How much more can I afford to spend each week getting back and forth to work? As it is, I spend more than I can truly afford. It is hard enough juggling expenses to keep the home going, but when the cost to get to work rises, it pains me to think about what could happen by summer.
Crunching some numbers in my budget gave me the idea to pay down on a higher monthly payment. Doing this will keep my grocery list to a minimum for a week, but the long term plan is to save at least an extra $50 each month to apply towards gas prices. An online cash advance is a great source for money to get this job done if you do not have a savings account. Keeping the risks small by foreseeing the problem and making a plan to handle a future crisis is a good way to get out of sinking into further long term debt.
