Why are Oil Prices so High? Who Cares--you Need to Make More Money to Survive

I seem to get sick every time I drive past a gas station these days. How about you?

Where I live, we're not at $5 per gallon yet, but we're not too far from it either. Just the sight of the cost for a gallon of gas is enough to make someone want to vomit.

Why are oil prices so high? Well, it's because of the economy or we don't drill enough or big oil is gouging the prices or this, that, or the other.

Look, here's the bottom line. Why are gas prices so high? The correct answer is, "Who cares!" At this point the only question you should be asking yourself is, "What am I going to do about it?"

You have no control over the daily price of oil. However, you do have control over how much money you make.

True, your boss may have you on a set salary, but this is America. You can choose to increase your income via other means than your job. You can choose to make more money by working from home.

The advantage of working from home is quite simple. You make more money without being dependent on a job or a boss who will set your salary. You set your own hours allowing you to decide when you make more money and when you don't.

Of course, the greatest advantage of making more money from home is that it costs you no money for gas. If you find a part time job, you are going to lose a lot of that money to other expenses like $5 per gallon gas. If you make more money from home, your commute is a 10 second walk to your computer.

True, you still need to market and advertise and who knows what else. Again, you have the edge here.

How many places on earth can you reach with the internet? All of them.

How much does it cost to reach someone thousands of miles away on the internet? Nothing.

If you spend no money reaching people and no money driving to a place or work or business, how much of the money you bring in do you get to keep? All of it.

So, again, it really doesn't matter why oil prices are so high. All that really matters, for you, is what you are going to do about it. You can stay on your current course and drown as oil prices go up. Or you can make more money from home and compensate for oil prices that you cannot control.
