Energy prices are in the news everyday.
Consider:
1. Downsizing: Get a smaller vehicle or house.
2. Consider walking or riding a bicycle more. Get an electric bike to help you go uphill.
3. Storage: Maybe buy 5, 10, 15 or 20 gallons extra gasoline to have on hand, in case of an emergency.
4. If the budget permits, consider a wood stove to help heat the house.
5. If the budget permits, consider adding some solar panels, enough to at least run some emergency things in the house such as if you are on well water, enough to run the pump to get the water into the house.
