Gasoline prices have passed the $4 per gallon. Inflationary woes have led the Feds to consider raising rates. Not as fast as gas prices but fixed mortgage rates are moving. And tomatoes are banned but we are still paying for them. Times are tough, so how do we survive?

Start by trading in the gas-eatingSUV. The powerhouse-vehicleof the old America I once knew.  I am only thankful my lease is up soon and I can trade in my HEMI V-8 gas loving SUV for a bicycle or some corn-loving hybrid. We can beat the gas problem; it starts with using less; simple, huh?

And if you were thinking about refinancing to a lower fixed mortgage rate; do it very soon. In fact, Florida home prices are very low and great deals are being found everywhere; just make sure you lock in your fixed mortgage rate immediately. We have seen Florida fixed interest rates move from 5.50% in January to 6.50% in June. And this move is due to the Fed’s announcement to counter inflation and strengthen the dollar. Interest rates will continue to go up; so get them while their relatively low. Call 888.399.0520 for your Mortgage Professional.

And whats with the tomato pricing in this country? I love tomatoes. But when you are on the run and forced to eat out once in a while – you get no relief. Sure we see signs that read “no tomatoes served here”; but then where is our discount?  We are still paying the same. Restaurants are saving with no tomatoes available and not passing it on to us; their clients. Food for thought.

Enough grumbling from me; have a great, relaxing Fathers Day weekend and remember; we can survive.  Just trade in your SUV, refinance or buy your new Florida home and don’t pay for missing tomatoes.
