Every week, or every other week, there is a new article on Money CNN about oil prices reaching an all-time high. So do you think the prices will ever stop rising? The way things are going, I don’t think so. And with oil prices constantly rising, the prices of everything else is rising while the power dollar weakens. The stock market is doing poorly, banks are suffering, and homes are foreclosing. Imagine what will happen if another natural disaster occurred? I don’t even want to think about it. While the oil prices may have not been the cause, it is definitely making it worse. Make sure to take steps to protect yourself from being broke. Times are hard so make the necessary adjustments.
