I don't know where you are, but here in SoCal, the price of gas has dropped 50 cents/gallon over the past week. It's now down to $2.99 a gallon for regular.What I don't understand is why OPEC isn't cutting back production to support prices.

"I can't believe how much money I spent on my last vacation. I really need to start budgeting better."Response:I completely understand where you're coming from. Vacations can be expensive and it's easy to overspend. Have you tried creating a budget or using a budgeting app to track your expenses? It can be a helpful tool in managing your spending and saving for future trips. Also, don't be too hard on yourself. Sometimes we all deserve to splurge a little on a vacation. Just make sure to balance it out with responsible saving habits.
