SHOULD YOU CHANGE YOUR RV TRAVEL PLANS ?

IT ’ S EASY TO GET INTO A RUT WITH

AUTOMATIC RESPONSES . We get used to the constant grumble about the price of gas , especially when everyone is doing it .

But it ’ s important to do the math so we can see what we are really dealing with , and how we can make up for it elsewhere .

This “ pause to consider ” mentality helps us evaluate what is actually happening — not what we think is happening . This exercise also allows your brain to rest from the noise of fear-based , underperformance thinking to an outlook of responsibility that can cultivate creative solutions . ( Not to mention a better attitude !)

With that said , we all have to crunch the numbers and see what we are really working with .

2022 reached an all time high price at the pump

THIS IS A DIFFERENCE OF $ 52.92 EXTRA ( New 2022 high minus 29 year national average : $ 115.92 – $ 63 ) FOR ABOUT EVERY 300 MILES DRIVEN . This number times how many times you fill up per month is the target amount to cut from your monthly budget on a different line item .

For a family this number might be easier to recover because just going to Chipotle can be a $ 50 experience . Eating lunch at home erases this expense quickly . Whereas a single or couple has lower food cost to begin with . No matter the situation it is always best to understand the real numbers so you can figure out where to make them up on a different line item .
