GAS TAX
The gas tax was hiked in Ohio in 2019 from 28 cents to 38.5 cents per gallon. The Federal gas tax rate is 18.4 cents. There’s talk of rolling back the taxes. If Russia invades Ukraine, prices will jump as Russia is the second-largest oil exporter, so if the tax is removed it will have little effect in that scenario.
Russia exports around 5 million barrels per day of crude oil. Nearly half of it went to European countries. More than seventy-percent of this oil comes through pipelines that cross through Ukrainian territory from Russia. The U.S. imports around 50% of crude oil from Canada and next is Russia at around 7%. With sanctions on importing oil on Venezuala there were other producers that picked up the slack, Russia being one of them. With supply and demand issues still out of kilter there will be potential for more price increases with any world events.
AURORA FARMS
We stopped at Aurora Farms Outlets recently. It’s been years since I last visited the center. There were a lot of empty stores in the front part of the center, but the back half was pretty much full. Only one restaurant that I saw. There used to be more. Some stores moved to a different spot like the Coach Outlet store. A kitchen store and Correlle store were no longer there. The ducks were still manning the pond.
We got some great deals. Some stores have deals up to 90% off. Adidas had everything in the store an extra 40% off. Plus we used a $20 off $100 coupon from being a Premium Outlets rewards member. Calvin Klein had 70% off times plus we used an additional 20% off coupon. Aeropostale had a BOGO jeans sale plus they had a $10 off $60 coupon.
A new store was the TW Bargains Outlet store. It was “flea market-like” with dent and scratch food items. One bargain I got there was a 5 gallon honey for $7.20 after a 20% off one item coupon.
I got a kick out of the Nike store having their door wide open even though it was in the teens outside. The heat was so high in the store I felt like I was melting. Why they just didn’t turn down the heat and shut the door I don’t know.

FINANCIAL RELATIONSHIPS
With Valentine’s Day this month it’s a good time to talk about relationships and money. It’s a sensitive topic and has been the Battle Royale for many couples. It’s when spending and saving clash, depending on the amount of funds in a couples account(s). Could it be something deeper though? If there was total respect, trust and faith in the relationship would money even be an issue? Is money the focus or is the relationship? Lets dig in some.
First thing. Did you notice the (s) I put in accounts? It means a couple may have money in their own individual account or just one shared account or a combination. Sometimes each partner doesn’t know exactly how much is in their spouse’s account. Some couples have one or shared accounts, but sometimes only one person controls it.
Next is the reason why couples shy away from this topic – it’s a hot button issue. Some don’t even talk about it because they know it will involve a fight. However, it’s necessary to talk about finances in a relationship. In the end, avoiding it will make it worse and it will have to be addressed anyway. There has to be some agreement how incomes will be saved and spent to keep it from bubbling up into constant arguments.
Even single people need to address financial issues head-on before they get to the point of no return.
A study found that about 50% of families have about 3 months of savings for emergencies. Around 25% have nothing in savings. So a major car repair or furnace replacement can easily send someone into debt. Credit cards are then used to pay bills. If just the minimum is paid, it’s like everything costs double, if not more in the end. It then becomes a money death-spiral. Stress increases and then the relationship is tested.
Some couples don’t trust each other with money-matters. Maybe there was financial cheating that was exposed and now there are trust issues in the relationship. Perhaps a big purchase or multiple purchases were made without the other person’s knowledge. Maybe they spend to make themselves feel better in place of an emotional devoid. Sometimes one partner doesn’t want to spend any money even if there is plenty in savings. They may be financially insecure and are afraid of losing it all. It goes back to not getting on the same page about spending.
Some are controlling when it comes to money. It’s to the point where each partner in the relationship handles their own money just like they did when they were single. Nobody is going to tell either one of them how to spend their money or save it. Spending is split depending on how much each person makes. Sometimes it’s not 100% balanced, but close enough. Fights still happen because there may be some unfairness in how much each person pays the bills, etc.
Another angle on this is when a spouse stays home with the kids and that spouse doesn’t have an income. Or one of the partners doesn’t have a job and isn’t doing enough to find one. No splitting expenses there. However, spending by the non-working spouse can lead to disagreements.
There is no right or wrong answer as each couple is different, but both partners have to be on the same page. Just like a Pisces may get along with a Virgo, however a Leo and a Pisces might have some more work to do figure out the dynamics.
Sometimes one person in the relationship is better at handling the finances than the other. Go with your strengths in a relationship! It may work better. Teach the other person.
After I got married my feelings were that I wanted to build trust and I felt that my money was her money and vice versa. We are one, after all. Anything that splits us apart will not bring our bond closer together. It worked for us. We were always very open on expenses and what we had in savings. We both came from humble beginnings, so we are careful with our money and appreciate what we have and don’t spend it willy-nilly. Matter-of-fact, she tells me to spend more on myself. Can I afford to put sprinkles on my ice cream cone? Yeah, but the ice cream cone is good and special enough…most of the time.
Some relationships end when the one person finds out the other person is in debt, sometimes in large sums. Would that scare you away? What if they just needed some guidance on getting their finances in control? It’s also important to know where each other is financially before getting married, so there are no surprises.
Outright control of the money by one person in the relationship can be dangerous too. They can keep secrets from the other person about the condition of their finances. To develop trust both parties need to know everything about their financial condition and expenses.
Say, a marriage doesn’t work out and a couple gets divorced. Many divorces or break-ups in relationships are due to money. They’ve learned their lesson and now know what to look for in a partner should they marry again. Statistics say otherwise. The divorce rate for first marriages is around 50%, second marriage are 67% and a whopping 75% for third marriages. Sometimes the same mistakes are repeated. Pre-nups is a way some try to protect their finances, however it can complicate the relationship.
You can have a incredibly loving and happy relationship even when being dirt poor. Money…and ice cream sprinkles don’t always bring happiness. For instance, a study found up to 40% of lottery winners wish they never won. In other words, focus on the relationship and not the money.
