Adam Goss: Sinking money into my gas tank
Adam Goss: Sinking money into my gas tank
Adam Goss is sticking close to home this summer because of higher gas prices.
Customer service and sales representative, 28, Syracuse, N.Y.

If gas prices go over the $3 mark here, then it will put a dent in my spending.

With higher gas prices, I don't have much money to spend because I'm sinking money into my gas tank to go to and from work.

I postponed a trip to Pittsburgh because of the recent runup in gas prices. And I have decided to wait until September, when I'll have more money, to take a trip to see my grandparents, aunts and uncles.

For the summer, I have planned camping trips that are about a half-hour away because I can't afford to go to far away right now.

If we go back to $3 gas again, it's going to seriously hurt the economy. I already live paycheck to paycheck, so I know that you need to budget money if you want to take trips.
