Budget Ahead For Gas
The reason for accounting for $5.00 a gallon is so that I can give myself a little breathing room for price changes. I would not be surprised to see the price of gas go over $5 at some point in the future. When that happens, I will certainly adjust my budget to reflect $6 a gallon.
